The F1 penalty points system was put in place to help keep the driving standards of the sport above a standard. As part of this system, a driver is given penalty points every time he commits a transgression on track. These transgressions could be anything from dangerous driving, causing a collision, speeding in the pit lane, etc.
The F1 penalty points are given based on the severity of the transgression. These points have to stay with the driver for a period of 12 months before expiry. If one reaches 12 points within a 12-month period, the driver gets banned for a race.
Kevin Magnussen became the first driver to be banned under this system for the race in Baku. With that being said, as the sport moves to the last race of the season in Baku, where do the drivers stand in terms of penalty points? Let's take a look.
