The F1 penalty points system came into place to uphold the driving standards of the grid. As part of the system, every driver transgression leads to penalty points depending on the severity of it. If the drivers reach 12 penalty points within a 12-month period, they face a race ban.

Thus far, Kevin Magnussen has become the first and the only driver to get banned due to this system. He had accumulated 12 points within a year and had to sit out of the race in Baku. With the circus heading to the F1 Las Vegas GP, let's take a look at how each driver stacks up in terms of penalty points.
