They highlighted the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix as an example, where the stewards were extremely aggressive and Norris received two penalty points for a confrontation with Perez – which even Perez’s Red Bull chief Christian Horner thought was unfair.
Norris, on the other hand, has less concerns with five points – none of which will be removed until June in Azerbaijan – but McLaren is upset with how the British driver was treated by the stewards last year. Yuki Tsunoda and Sergio Perez have eight and seven points, respectively, and must avoid achieving 12 points in the first three races of next season to prevent having some of their points wiped away before the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.įrom Red Bull’s perspective, Max Verstappen’s situation is more critical since he will carry seven points through to the Italian Grand Prix in September, giving him 15 races to negotiate before his penalty total begins to decline.

However, it is possible that it will happen in 2022, as certain drivers are close to crossing the line. A total of 12 penalty points accrued on a driver’s FIA super-license over the course of a year will result in a one-race suspension, albeit this punishment has yet to be imposed since the system was implemented in 2014. McLaren is calling for a reform of F1’s penalty points system, citing concerns that Lando Norris may have been banned despite the fact that there is no evidence he drove dangerously.
