Max Verstappen will serve part of his “community service” for shoving Esteban Ocon at this weekend’s Marrakesh E-Prix. The Red Bull man was punished by the FIA for the altercation at the Brazilian Grand Prix and will “observe stewards” at the second round of the Formula E season. Not all fans were convinced that the punishment fit the crime, however.
Many believed that this was less of a punishment and more of a holiday. As a result, many took to Twitter to voice their displeasure.

Max Verstappen to 'observe stewards' Formula E Marrakesh for shoving punishment- this is not a punishment! I’m happy to organise a true punishment that provides reparations to the public & make max think about his actions: he’s supposed to be a role model https://t.co/lsn1NS4AT7
