Max Verstappen Silverstone fate sealed as Red Bull star given Austrian GP penalty points

Max Verstappen's threat of an F1 race ban has been temporarily alleviated following the Austrian Grand Prix, meaning the Dutchman will be allowed to race at Silverstone next weekend.

The iconic circuit plays host once again to the British GP from July 4 until the main event on July 6, where Red Bull are in dire need of a points haul after a DNF for Verstappen and a nightmare race for his team-mate Yuki Tsunoda last time out.

The four-time champion started from seventh on the grid at the Red Bull Ring but didn't even manage to complete a single lap after Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli collided with him, ruling them both out of the race.

Antonelli was handed his first penalty points as a result, picking up two for causing the collision with Verstappen.

The Dutchman has now dropped to nine penalty points after two expired on June 30, but if he were to pick up three more before the next ones expire in October, he could once again be at risk of a race ban.

His team-mate Tsunoda was summoned to the stewards in Spielberg for causing a collision with Franco Colapinto, with the Japanese racer handed a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points as a result.

Colapinto did not face any punishment for that incident but was slapped with his first penalty point after forcing championship leader Oscar Piastri off the track.

Below is the table of every F1 driver's current penalty points tally, and when they expire.
