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.
