What are the penalty points on the F1 drivers license? penalty points
The so-called “penalty points” currently play an important role in Formula 1. In addition to race penalties, drivers can receive points for violations involving points that will be added to their record and that, when 12 in a period of one year, prohibits them from participating in a race.
The system was introduced a few years ago with the aim of putting a visible limit on problem drivers. The first to have been expelled from a race was Romain Grosjean, after the serious accident caused in that 2012 in the first corner of Spa-Francorchamps.
The accumulation of points can be due to collisions in the race, shortcuts, ignoring race flags or other infractions… Of course, no driver has yet managed to reach 12 points since the beginning of this initiative.
Several have been left at the gates, but since those points are recovered 12 months after an infraction, no one has reached exclusion.
Sports regulations, article 4.2 that talks about sanctions and penalties for drivers:
Whenever a penalty is imposed in accordance with the International Sporting Code or Article 38.3, Formula 1 stewards may add penalty points to drivers’ super licences. Alternatives to penalty points are reprimands or fines.
As soon as a driver’s penalty points have increased to 12, his super license is suspended for the next event. At the same time, the 12 penalty points are canceled and he would start over from 0 when he rejoins the race.
Penalty points remain on the super license for twelve months, expiring after that period.
