F1 Penalty Points: Red Bull star edges closer to race ban
The stewards at the Miami Grand Prix were busy during the sprint race, handing out penalties to multiple drivers on Saturday. Max Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for an unsafe release, while Alex Albon and Ollie Bearman were also penalized. Liam Lawson picked up five-second penalty and a penalty point, bringing his total to six points. Verstappen must be cautious, as he is nearing a race ban with eight points. Other drivers like George Russell, Lando Norris, and Oscar Piastri also have penalty points on their record. It’s crucial for drivers to avoid accumulating too many points, as 12 over 12 months leads to an automatic one-race suspension.
