Penalty points after the Mexican Grand Prix
The FIA uses a penalty-point system on the superlicence to reduce the number of infringements. Each infringement is punished with a certain number of points; their total over 12 months must not exceed twelve — otherwise a driver is suspended for one race, as happened in 2024 with Kevin Magnussen. Penalty points expire 12 months after they are awarded.
The next points to expire will be on 02/11/25 — that’s one point for Verstappen and two points for Piastri and Berman, received during last year’s São Paulo Grand Prix.
After the Mexican Grand Prix, fifteen active drivers have unexpired penalty points. The leader in their number is Oliver Berman.
