F1 drivers' penalty points: Who is close to a ban after USGP?

The United States Grand Prix was a pretty hectic one – plenty of lead changes, Max Verstappen being pushed right to the end, and four different cars finishing in the top four positions.

What it didn't see, though, was any drivers picking up penalty points on their licenses. While George Russell was pinged in qualifying for impeding (and got a three-place grid penalty), that infringement doesn't bring any penalty points with it.

Nor, indeed, do time penalties for repeatedly exceeding track limits – which is why Alex Albon had five seconds added to his race time, but no points added to his license.

Penalty points explained

Alongside time penalties, driving infringements also carry penalty points to ensure driving standards are maintained.

These points expire after 12 months have elapsed, but will result in a race ban should 12 points be accrued during this period.

GPFans has compiled a list of the points currently accrued by drivers and when they will expire. This article will be updated throughout the year.
