Max Verstappen is only one penalty point away from a racing suspension after Sunday’s incident with George Russell. The Dutchman again received penalty points on his license, which means he comes into the danger zone.
The stewards ruled that Verstappen was guilty of the curious collision with Russell in the final of Grand Prix of Spain. In addition to a time penalty of ten seconds, they gave the Dutchman three penalty points on his license.
That brings the total of Verstappen to eleven penalty points in the past twelve months. In a total of twelve penalty points, a driver for one race is excluded by the International Autofederatie (FIA). Of all Formula 1 drivers, Verstappen is closest to that.
The reigning world champion must therefore fit on its seconds until 30 June. Then the two penalty points from the Grand Prix of Austria will fall out last year, when he was found guilty of a crash with Lando Norris.
Two more races are on the program in Formula 1 until 30 June: the Grand Prix of Canada (15 June) and the Grand Prix of Austria (June 29). The next moment that Verstappen sees penalty points again is only on October 27.
In theory, Verstappen could even get a suspension later on Sunday. Together with Charles Leclerc, the Dutchman is still under investigation for an incident shortly after the restart. Both drivers almost hit each other on the right part after the safety car came in.
The penalty point system in Formula 1 is intended to check the behavior of the drivers. The penalty points are granted for violations of the rules, whereby its amount depends on the severity of the incident.
