The F1 penalty points system was put in place to keep the driving standards in check. If the drivers reach 12 penalty points within 12 months then they face an automatic one-race ban. Kevin Magnussen became the first driver to be banned for reaching 12 F1 penalty points.

These points are handed out based on driver transgressions on the track and include anything from dangerous driving to speeding through the pitlane. With the 2024 F1 season now in the rearview mirror let's take a look at who are the top five delinquents in terms of penalty points.
