F1 Penalty Points 2025: Race ban looms as stars under pressure after British GP

The threat of a race ban once again looms over the heads of a handful of F1 star’s following the 2025 British Grand Prix.

This year’s iconic sporting event saw McLaren star Lando Norris claim his maiden home victory, but things didn’t go so well for fellow home hero Ollie Bearman.

The 20-year-old was slapped with four penalty points during his first home grand prix weekend after entering the pit lane at 260kph on Saturday, causing him to slide and crash into the barriers.

The Haas star was handed the maximum amount of penalty points possible by the stewards with his infringement having detrimental consequences to not just his British GP weekend, but potentially his season as a whole.

The incident during FP3 in Silverstone means Bearman now has eight penalty points to his name, meaning just one more costly mistake could see him reach the 12 point mark which triggers a one race ban.

Championship leader Oscar Piastri also added to his tally at the British GP after being hit with a 10-second penalty and two penalty points for braking erratically when the safety car lights went out at Silverstone.

Max Verstappen did not pick up any further points at the British GP but he was left on the brink of a race ban earlier this year with 11 points to his name heading into the Austrian GP.

Luckily for Red Bull, Verstappen didn't get the chance to earn any more in Spielberg after being ruled out of the race on lap one, but the threat still looms over his season as he tops the table with the most penalty points.

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.
