F1 2022 Current Penalty Points Drivers List, Reason, Penalties System Explained

F1 drivers can amass penalty points for a wide range of reasons listed by the FIA.

What Are F1 Grand Prix Penalty Points?

The FIA hands penalty points to drivers in F1 if they do something that the FIA considers as dangerous. The reason for a penalty point could range from causing a collision, ignoring yellow flags, or even driving too fast under the safety car.

When F1 drivers receive a penalty point, it will remain on their licence for a year before expiring. Things get serious when a driver totals up 12 of these points throughout a year. Such cases can lead to a race ban.
