F1 2025 Penalty Points: Lewis Hamilton awarded late penalty as champion faces race ban risk

Lewis Hamilton was awarded a late penalty after the Dutch Grand Prix while a F1 champion remains at risk of a race ban.

The 40-year-old was placed under investigation for failing to slow under double yellow flags, and was awarded two penalty points alongside a five-place grid drop for the Italian GP.

While Verstappen remained incident free at Zandvoort, his penalty points tally sits on nine and is three away from a race ban, the closest of any driver.

Kimi Antonelli's total of penalty points also increased to four, after he earnt a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points for his collision with Charles Leclerc.

Williams star Carlos Sainz also has four penalty points following a collision with Liam Lawson, for which he was awarded a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points.

It's not all bad news however, with Nico Hulkenburg's slate wiped clean after his set of two penalty points expired on September 1.

He now joins the ranks of squeaky clean drivers on zero points, which include: Gabriel Bortoleto, Fernando Alonso, Isack Hadjar and Esteban Ocon.
