Since 201🐻4, F1 stewards award penalties alongside penalty point♏s that accrue on a driver’s super licence.
Should a driver obtain 12 penalty points over a 12-month period then they will be handed a ra💃ce ban.
Verstappen has seven points 💖𝄹to his name, five away from a race ban.
Here’s a full rundown of how many points each F1 driver𝔍 has heading into this weekend’s French Grand Prix:
Max Verstappen - 7
Two of Verstappen’s penalty points are for hܫis collision with ▨Lewis Hamilton at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix.
He then received two for ignoring double-waved yellow flags in Qatar last year, before 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖꧟结果历史:picking up a further three in Saudi Arabia for two incidents with Hamilton.
