Penalty points were dished out after a chaotic Austrian Grand Prix that saw a surprise winner emerge.
What looked like a straightforward victory for Max Verstappen took a dramatic turn when a slow pit stop left the door wide open for Lando Norris to challenge.

A late-race fight for the lead culminated in a dramatic collision that saw Norris retire from the race with seven laps remaining, with George Russell of Mercedes eventually securing a surprise second career victory.
Verstappen, who was cruising towards his 62nd race win, was handed a 10-second time penalty by the FIA for causing the crash with Norris. However, the penalty didn't affect his final finishing position as he maintained a significant lead over Haas' Nico Hulkenberg.
The Dutchman's penalty wasn't limited to just race time, however, as he also received two penalty points on his FIA Super Licence.
Elsewhere, Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin found himself embroiled in his own penalty drama. The veteran driver made contact with Zhou Guanyu in Turn 3, earning himself a two-point penalty.
This latest incident brings the world champion's total penalty points to eight within the last nine races. While he won't face any immediate repercussions, the Spaniard walks a tightrope as any further violations could trigger a race ban if he collects four penalty points in the next rounds.

F1 Driver Penalty Points
Alongside time penalties, drivers could carry penalty points for driving infringements. These points expire after 12 months, but if a driver collects 12 points within that time, they get a race ban.
Kevin Magnussen currently sits on the edge with 10 penalty points, just two away from a potential race ban.
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.
