Max Verstappen will have to be extremely careful over the next two races. Here are all the incidents and episodes that led the four-time world champion to accumulate his 11 penalty points over the past 12 months.
The inexplicable move on George Russell in the closing stages of the Spanish GP proved costly for Max Verstappen, who was demoted to tenth place following the penalty handed down by the stewards. All things considered, however, the consequences for his championship standing could have been far worse.
The Dutchman narrowly avoided a race ban by just one point on his FIA super licence, but he will have to be extremely cautious in the next two races in Canada and Austria, Red Bull’s home Grand Prix.
From June 30 onwards, the Hasselt-born driver will regain two points on his super licence, bringing the total down to nine. However, the risk of a one-race suspension will still remain high. And this time, after the events at Montmeló, he will have no margin for error.
No more bonuses for Verstappen
But how did Verstappen manage to accumulate as many as 11 penalty points in just under a year? Let’s quickly review and wrap up all the incidents and crashes that brought him to the brink after the collision with Russell in Barcelona.
