The Canadian Grand Prix marks the first of two consecutive races when the F1 World Champion Max Vestappen will cross the penaltin in the commercial event of the last race in Spain.
While the penalty for final 10-second races received from the Crash Steward, and – potentially crucial – Nine Points at the World Championship, throwing it from the fifth to the tail in the tail of their F1 Super License.
The significance of this additional sanction was that it was moved to 11 points for the last 12 months – one of the activates the automatic ban on the race under the F1 regulations.
Points remain on the driver’s license for one year until Vistappen drops the first of his current points until 30. June – the date that comes after the next two races, and then in Montreal a week later.
“You can never guarantee anything,” said Red Taurus team principle Christian Horner post-racing in Spain when he asked about an uncertain situation, his star driver is now in the next two events.
“He must keep his nose clean in the next few races. Then the first points went to the end of June.”
Verstappen passed without penalties through the first eight races of this season to Spain – and even longer streaks in the past – so Red Bull will surely support the four time champion to restore the right balance. But certainly there is not much space for even a mild misdeed in point of pointing for the next few weeks given the way in which the criminal points were given for Verstapen in just less than a year.
Explaining the F1 penalty system
F1 has introduced a penalty point for breaking paths by drivers from the beginning of the 2014 season, designed to act as an additional deterrent to regular incidents in regular incidents.
While sports sanctions – such as temporal penalties, the vehicle and, in the most extreme, disqualifications and to seeking rules in the trail, also have the ability to break rules in the trail, also have the ability to break the rules in the trail and trial Permissions.
The Super License is a compulsory condition that all drivers appear in the Grand Prix weekends and to apply to which penal points apply.
In this regard, it is similar to the process of evaluations on standard driving permits for misdemeanors on the road. As on the road, drivers are prohibited if they reach a maximum of 12 points – which, in case F1 covers a period of 12 months.
Sports regulations States: “If the driver is calculated twelve (12) criminal points, his license will be suspended to the next competition, after which twelve (12) point will be removed from the license.
“Penalty points will remain on the driving super license for a period of twelve (12) months after which it will be removed in twelve (12) monthly anniversary of their imposition.”
How did Vistappen collect his 11 points?
- 30. June 2024. Years – 2 points – Collision causing with Lando Norris in Austrian GP
- 27. October 2024 – 2 points – Forcing Lando Norris from the track in Mekico City GP
- 2. November 2024. Years – 1 point – Driving too fast under virtual security car in Sao Paulo Sprint
- 30. November 2024 years – 1 point – Driving unnecessary slowly and disturbing George Russell in Qatar GP qualifications
- 8. December 2024. Years – 2 points – causing a collision with Oscar Piastri to Abu Dhabi GP
- 1. June 2025 – 3 points – Collision causing with George Russell on Spanish GP
The first two points of his Austrian collision with Norris emphasize on a one-year anniversary of the incident, 30. June, but the next two after that from the Mexican city does not fall from its part by the end of October.
This means that Verstappen, even if he avoids any points for the bank in Canada and Austria, will remain at nine points for another nine occasions.
What incidents can boot a unique penalty point?
Running stewards can issue three criminal off points for the most serious crimes, down to one for smaller incidents.
There is no publicly available list, or “Menu”, for the type of incidents that drive each level of sanctions, but now has 11 years in the last-precedent value to provide guidance.
As mentioned above, Vistappen collected individual penalties for incidents last year – first to run too fast under the virtual safety car in Sao Paulo Sprint, others in Qatar for conducting unnecessary guidance unnecessarily moved to a third.
Russell accidentally picked up the current unique point on his own permission in the same Qatar weekend not to comply with the rule that requires that the driver was held 10 carijedar remote.
The collisions with other cars also earned drivers a penal point in the recent past (Liam Lavson in Bahrain and Miami) – and not only in races.
Aston Martin’s Lance Stroe had one point that added her cross-permit Last month Monaco GP for a collision with Charles Leclerc Ferrari on Friday on Friday.
Meanwhile, in the meantime, meanwhile, presented a penalty point in Miami last year for insecure commissioning in the pit when he went out on the Alpine Garage and went to the Leclerca in front of his circles in Sprint Grid.
Has anyone reached a 12-point limit before?
While several drivers approached the accumulation of 12 active licensed points, it was only a season introduced – that someone reached the markers of a dozen point when Kevin Magnussen thus followed the collision with Pierre gas at the Italian Grand Priqus.
Then the Haas driver missed the next race in Azerbaijan as a result, with Oliver Bearman who took his place for the weekend Baku.
Before he was a formal system, Romain Gross was the last driver who was suspended for a great opportunity after causing a massive multi-car crash of the first corner at Grand Pricud Nacy. The Frenchman also participated in the incidents earlier in the campaign.
Michael Schumacher (two races), Eddie Irvine (three) and Mika Hakkinen (one) were suspended in 1994. years for various fouls, while Nigel Mansell is banned from Spanish GP 1989. Years.
Where would turn Red Bull if Verstappen missed the race?
The Red Bull will, of course, will be also optimistic that Verstappen, as Horner says, will be able to “clean” clean eyes “in Montreal and Austria to avoid this becoming an immediate and unwanted question for this.
But if they were suddenly needed to find a one-time replacement for Verstappen, and one of the two drivers who race for nursing outfit Racing Bulls – Isac Hadjar or Liam Lavson – almost inevitable to fill in next weekend next weekend next to Yuki Tsunoda.
Such resolutions, however, would in turn would create a one-time vacancy at the Junior Department of Filling.
Japan Aiumu Ivasa, 23, is Red Bull’s experienced spare option and vehicles on Friday for both teams, while British 17-year-old and F2 front-runner Arvid Lindblad will also be a sustainable option after a long-term requirement of the Super License Exemption Team For their proteges, FIA approved for two months before his 18th birthday.
