If they make a mistake, Formula 1 drivers can be penalised by the stewards and rack up penalty points on their racing licence.
A total of 12 points accrued results in a ban, something which happened in 2024 when Kevin Magnussen had to sit out the Azerbaijan race for Haas.
Here's a full list of the amount of penalty points each 2025 F1 driver has, and the date of expiry of those points.
This list will be updated throughout the 2025 F1 season
