F1 drivers' penalty points: Who is close to a ban?

The Australian Grand Prix became the second race of the 2024 season to see drivers collect penalty points.

Fernando Alonso's clean run came to an end at the Australian GP after a year without penalty points. Stewards deemed his driving in front of George Russell on lap 57 to be 'dangerous,' handing him a 20-second time penalty. This dropped Alonso from a hard-fought sixth place finish to eighth in the final classification.

The incident, which occurred near the exit of turn 6, also resulted in three penalty points being added to the Spaniard's FIA superlicence.

Penalty points explained

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.
