Which driver has the most penalty points in F1 history?
A driver headed for championship glory also tops the list o💃f F1 drivers to collect the most penalty points.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has racked up the most F1 penalty points since the sꦓystem was introduced in 2014.
F1 introduced the system as a way of punishing poor driving standards. The rules state that if a driver accrues 12 penalty points over a 12-month period, they will receive a one-race ban. After 12 months,🌱 the points expire.
Haas’ Kevin Magnussen became the first driver in F1 history to serve a one-race ban for accumulating 12 points in a y🎃ear at the 2024 Azeꦫrbaijan Grand Prix.
Ex-F1 driver Romain Grosjean was also forced to sit on the sidelines for triggering a huge startline crash at the 2012 Be🥀lgian Grand Prix, but this punishment was handed out prior to the introduction of the penalty points system.
Despite Magnussen making history for the wrong꧙ reasons, it is actually 𝔉Red Bull’s soon-to-be four-time world champion who has received the most points.
Since making his F1 debut with Toro Rosso in 2015, Verstappen has picked up a total of 3🎃9 penalty points in 206 grand prix starts - a record tally. The Dutchman has two more penaltওy points than Magnussen, and five more than Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.
Verstapܫpen currently has five penalty points on his licence after two from last ye⛎ar’s Las Vegas Grand Prix expired on November 18.
The other five he accumulated in Austria, Mexico and Brazil this season won’t be removed until n𝓡ext year.
Verstappen notably picked up seven of his penalty points during his intense title fight with Lewis Hamilton in 2021. The most penalty�✱� points he accrued during a single season was in his debut campaign in 2015 - when he received eight.
