The stewards had a busy end to the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, handing out some penalties...including some potentially consequential ones.
The biggest of the bunch was Max Verstappen's ten-second penalty for thumping into the side of George Russell late in the race, dropping him from fifth to tenth. Ollie Bearman also picked up a ten-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
Unlike Verstappen though, Bearman avoided any points on his superlicence. The Dutchman, on the other hand, picked up three.
As we've discussed on these pages before, 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.
