The F1 penalty points system has been put in place to keep the driving standards in the sport above a certain level. These were introduced in 2014 after the driving standards took a dip in the early 2010s and there were quite a few incidents on track. For the unversed, Romain Grosjean was even banned in 2012 for the first-lap incident in Belgium.
As part of the Penalty Points system, drivers are given points based on the severity of their transgressions. These transgressions could be dangerous driving, causing a collision, etc.
These points stay with the driver for 12 months, after which they expire. Any driver that ends up accumulating 12 F1 penalty points faces a race ban. In the 2024 season, we're done with 18 races and have only six left. Where does each driver stand in terms of penalty points? Let's take a look.
