In Formula 1, if a driver acquires 12 penalty points, they will be prohibited from participating in at least one grand prix. Similar to driving on public roads, Formula 1 racers must adhere to the regulations, or else face consequences. During each race, stewards have the authority to issue various penalties, such as warnings, fines, grid drop penalties, in-race time penalties, and drive-through penalties, to discipline drivers in any given session. However, in addition to these on-track penalties, drivers can also receive what are known as ‘penalty points’. These points remain on a driver’s license for a period of 12 months, and if a driver accumulates 12 points, they will be barred from the subsequent event. Keeping track of penalty points can be challenging, so here is an overview of the number of points each F1 driver currently has. This list will be continuously updated throughout the 2024 F1 season.
