McLaren woes deepen as British F1 star slapped with MAXIMUM punishment
Australian F1 rising star Oscar Piastri received two additional penalty points at the British Grand Prix, while British driver Ollie Bearman was given the maximum penalty points possible following an incident in FP3 last weekend. Piastri was leading the race at Silverstone when he was penalized with a 10-second time penalty for erratic braking during a safety car restart. This penalty, along with the safety car infringement, brought Piastri’s total penalty points to six on his FIA super license. Bearman, on the other hand, faced penalties for not adhering to a red flag during FP3, resulting in a pitlane crash and earning him the maximum of four penalty points a driver can accumulate. The penalty points table for 2025 displays the consequences of the recent incidents at the British GP, with Ollie Bearman now dangerously close to a potential F1 race ban. Additionally, the penalty points incurred by various F1 drivers, including Max Verstappen, Yuki Tsunoda, Lando Norris, and more, shed light on the consequences of their on-track actions and the expiration dates of their penalty points.
