The F1 penalty points system was put in place in 2014 to keep the driving standards above a certain threshold. If the drivers reach 12 penalty points within a 12-month period, they face a race ban.
The points are given on the basis of driver transgressions, and these transgressions could be anything from dangerous driving to speeding through the pitlane. Kevin Magnussen recently became the first driver to get banned according to this system.
