The F1 penalty points system was put in place to keep driving standards high. If a driver reaches 12 penalty points within a 12-month period, a one-race ban follows.

These points are handed out for transgressions on the track. These transgressions could be anything from dangerous driving to speeding through the pitlane.

Since the introduction of the penalty points system, only Kevin Magnussen has been banned after he accrued 12 F1 penalty points.

With the F1 Las Vegas GP in the rearview mirror let's take a look at how each driver stacks up in terms of penalty points.
