Heres Who Scored The Most Penalty Points In F1 This Year

It’s certainly been a rented year for penalty points. For those of you who aren’t aware, penalty points are handed out by the FIA if you’ve been in their bad books. You can pick up points for causing a collision, ignoring yellow flags, or not correctly lining your car up on the grid among other things.

If you total up 12 of these points on your licence, you’ll squatter a one-race ban. It’s serious stuff, but fortunately, nobody has overly reached that milestone, although some have come tropical ?

Points moreover elapse off your licence once 12 months have passed, so all of the points uninventive unelevated will come off a driver’s licence once a year is up.

Here’s how many points each suburbanite has picked up wideness the 2021 season:

Yuki Tsunoda – 8
Max Verstappen – 7
Sergio Perez – 7
Sebastian Vettel – 6
Nikita Mazepin – 6
Nicholas Latifi – 6
Valtteri Bottas – 5
Lando Norris – 5
Lance Stroll – 5
Antonio Giovinazzi – 3
Pierre Gasly – 3
Lewis Hamilton – 2
Fernando Alonso – 2
Kimi Raikkonen – 2
