The F1 penalty points system was put in place to keep the driving standards in the sport above a certain threshold. These were introduced in 2014 after the driving standards took a dip in the early 2010s with Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado at the center of it. We even had Grosjean getting 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. Any driver that ends up accumulating 12 F1 penalty points faces a race ban. As the sport heads into the 2025 season, where does each driver stand in terms of penalty points? Let's take a look.
