F1 penalty points are awarded to a driver for transgressions done on the track like causing an incident, dangerously blocking another competitor, or driving in an unsafe manner in the pitlane. Each transgression based on the severity has different F1 penalty points attached to them, and once a driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a 12-month period, he faces a suspension for one race. The penalty points expire 12 months after they are awarded to the driver.Let's take a look at where each driver stands in terms of penalty points on the current grid after the Spanish GP.F1 Penalty points standings after the Spanish GPLewis HamiltonPenalty Points: 2The seven-time world champion has 2 F1 penalty points to his name from the crash with Max Verstappen at the British GP last season.George RussellPenalty Points: 1George Russell has 1 F1 penalty point scored during the British GP Sprint last season for causing a collision.Max VerstappenPenalty Points: 7Max Verstappen has a whopping 7 F1 penalty points.
