F1 penalty points 2026: Every driver's total, expiry dates and race-ban risk

Alpine’s Franco Colapinto sits closest to an F1 race ban, holding four penalty points and needing eight more for suspension. Carlos Sainz also has four points, but two drop on 19 October 2026, easing his risk. Points expire individually, with Colapinto’s next loss on 14 June 2027 and three more in August 2027. The article lists every driver’s current tally, expiry dates and how many points remain before a ban, noting that no driver faces immediate suspension. Zero‑point drivers include Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton (1 point) and others.

How Max Verstappen can still win the F1 world title as breathtaking scenario emerges

Max Verstappen faces a daunting 119‑point deficit to Kimi Antonelli with six races left in the 2026 F1 season. After winning the last two events in Singapore and Bahrain, Red Bull’s improved aerodynamics and Ford power unit have revived the Dutchman's title hopes, but he must outscore Antonelli by at least 20 points per race – essentially winning every remaining Grand Prix while Antonelli finishes eighth or lower. Rivals George Russell and Lewis Hamilton trail Antonelli by 102 and 111 points respectively, making Verstappen the last realistic challenger. The upcoming United States GP in Austin could decide whether the four‑time champion can pull off an almost impossible comeback.
