F1 Penalty Points 2025: F1 star given penalty point update after LATE FIA review

F1 Penalty Points 2025: F1 star given penalty point update after LATE FIA review

An F1 star has seen his penalty points dramatically changed two weeks after a controversial FIA investigation.

Carlos Sainz was given a 10 second penalty and two penalty points after a controversial collision with Liam Lawson at the Dutch Grand Prix.

However, following a Williams appeal, the FIA have recinded the penalty, meaning the Spanish star has had his two penalty points deducted.

Meanwhile, the threat of a race ban looms over two F1 stars after the Italian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen being overtaken as the driver closest to a suspension.

That accolade now goes to Ollie Bearman, who picked up two penalty points on top of a huge penalty that was given to him for causing a collision with Williams star Carlos Sainz.

Bearman is now on 10, meaning he is potentially just one incident away from a ban, with 12 over a 12-month period being the threshold for which a driver is banned. The first of Bearman's points don't expire until November 2, meaning he has four more grands prix to complete without picking up any more points until then.

Elsewhere, Mercedes star Kimi Antonelli picked up one point alongside his five-second penalty for driving erratically, taking him up to five for the 12-month period, while Esteban Ocon picked up his first penalty point for forcing Lance Stroll off the road at Monza.

Verstappen may not have picked up any further points since the Spanish GP earlier this year, but the threat of a race ban still looms over his season. With nine to his name, Verstappen is still just three away from a race ban.

Below this table are the details of each individual driver's points, what they received them for and when they'll expire.
