F1 penalty points: Which driver has the most? Who is closest to a race ban?
Since 2014, F1 drivers can receive penalty points on their super licence, which may lead to a race ban if they accumulate 12 points within a year. The first driver to face a race ban for hitting 12 penalty points was Kevin Magnussen in 2024. Penalty points are applied at the stewards’ discretion to monitor drivers’ conduct, similar to road users. Points expire a year after they are issued, but drivers must stay within the regulations to avoid a ban until some points are wiped off. Each driver’s total penalty points and their expiration dates are closely tracked to ensure compliance with the rules.
