F1 Penalty Points: Red Bull star slammed with double punishment in nightmare weekend

The stewards at this week's Bahrain Grand Prix had a busier Sunday than usual late in the evening, dishing out some penalties and disqualifying Nico Hulkenberg.

However, the disqualified Sauber driver will not pick up any penalty points on his superlicense for the disqualification, as his elimination was due to a technical fault.

That doesn't mean that none were handed out over the course of the weekend, though. By the conclusion of Sunday's race, Liam Lawson had leapt from one point on Sunday morning to five points by the end of the evening, for example.

As we've discussed on these pages before, Max Verstappen is close enough to a race ban that he should be looking carefully at any late dives down the inside or rash defensive moves for the next few months.

Below this table are the details of each individual driver's points, what they received them for and when they'll expire. Verstappen, for example, doesn't shed any points until June 30, the same day that Fernando Alonso will lose the last of his points.
