As F1 heads into the summer break a race ban still looms for Max Verstappen who sits on the highest number of penalty points.
The four-time world champion was at risk of adding to his tally at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he was investigated for a move on Lewis Hamilton during the race.
As Verstappen went to overtake Hamilton for 10th place, the seven-time world champion went wide and off the track, prompting an investigation from the stewards after the race on the Red Bull's conduct.
The stewards determined that no further action would be taken against Verstappen, with the Dutchman escaping punishment and further penalty points on his super licence.
Verstappen is currently three points away from a race ban, the closest of any driver with Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc joining the list of drivers with penalty points after the Hungarian GP.
Gasly was awarded two alongside a 10-second time penalty for a collision with Carlos Sainz, while Leclerc was given one point and a five-second time penalty for defending erratically against George Russell.
Below this table are the details of each individual driver's points, what they received them for and when they'll expire.
