F1 drivers' penalty points: Who was on the naughty step in Hungary?

Daniel Ricciardo took the final hit from the stewards as the Hungarian Grand Prix sent F1 into its traditional summer shutdown.

Drivers were largely on their best behaviour at the Hungaroring with track limits hardly mentioned and low grip conditions resulting in minimal bottom clenching moments.

Only McLaren driver Ricciardo felt the wrath of the stewards after colliding with Lance Stroll during Sunday's race.

Max Verstappen remains on seven points but will have been relieved to reach this point without adding to his total, all of which were scored in the second half of 2021 and will start to drop off his licence at the coming events.

Alongside time penalties, driving infringements also carry penalty points to ensure driving standards are maintained.

These points expire after 12 months have elapsed, but will result in a race ban should 12 points be accrued during this period.

GPFans has compiled a list of the points currently accrued by drivers and when they will expire. This article will be updated throughout the year.
