The Dutchman used an expletive during a press conference in Singapore when describing the performance of his Red Bull car at the previous race in Azerbaijan.

"This series is not just about the two teams playing; it's about reviving the spirit of hockey in Delhi. We hope this will inspire more young players from the region to take up the game," Harmanpreet stated in a press release issued by Hockey India.

Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey expressed his enthusiasm and stated: "This bilateral series against Germany will be a remarkable showcase of world-class hockey. Both India and Germany have a rich history in the sport, and this series will give fans an opportunity to witness an intense competition between two of the most formidable teams in the world.

He was told to "accomplish some work of public interest" as punishment and Verstappen did so by attending a motorsport development programme with young drivers and engineers, hours before attending the FIA's prize-winning gala.

FIA president Mohamed Ben Sulayem said: "Max really fulfilled his promise.

"This is the community service we need every single driver, champion, to do if we want to grow. If we talk about diversity, this is the real diversity. It was not about the car, mainly about the people there."
