Which F1 stars are approaching a ban this season? - F1 penalty points explained

The Australian Grand Prix became the second race of the 2024 season to see drivers collect penalty points.

Fernando Alonso's clean run came to an end at the Australian GP after a year without penalty points. Stewards deemed his driving in front of George Russell on lap 57 to be 'dangerous,' handing him a 20-second time penalty. This dropped Alonso from a hard-fought sixth place finish to eighth in the final classification.

The incident, which occurred near the exit of turn 6, also resulted in three penalty points being added to the Spaniard's FIA superlicence.
