Following the Chinese Grand Prix, a duo of drivers are now less than halfway towards a race ban following numerous incidents during the race.
Logan Sargeant and Lance Stroll are on the verge of receiving a race ban, as they both have accumulated penalty points from incidents during the Chinese Grand Prix. Drivers face a one-race ban if they amass 12 penalty points on their super license in a 12-month period. Sargeant currently holds eight points, while Stroll has seven, bringing them dangerously close to the threshold. Both drivers were penalized for separate incidents during the race in Shanghai, with Sargeant being cited for overtaking under a Safety Car and Stroll for contact with another driver.
