Max Verstappen called his public service 'constructive' after serving the punishment at Saturday's Marrakech EPrix. But British racer Sam Bird said the exercise had done Formula E 'an injustice'.
Verstappen spent the day shadowing the race stewards in Morocco as part of a punishment issued by governing body the FIA, for pushing fellow Formula One driver Esteban Ocon after November's Brazilian Grand Prix when the pair collided.
But Bird - who finished third in Marrakech - criticised the ruling.
