Ranked: 2025 grid based on F1 penalty points from the most to the fewest after the 2025 Dutch GP

As the Dutch GP comes to an end, it has shaken things up when it comes to F1 penalty points. On one side, we have drivers who were maybe pushing things beyond a point. Then we had drivers who went too far and faced slam dunk penalties.

As the sport moves on from the F1 Dutch GP, quite a few drivers have picked up even more penalty points. Carlos Sainz, for instance, was not happy about getting a penalty even for his incident with Liam Lawson.

With that being said, as the dust settles, which drivers have had the most F1 penalty points, and which ones have kept things cleaner? Let's take a look as we rank the grid on the basis of penalty points from the most to the least.
