Singapore will have their shit fucked up. Kevin's confidence is very reassuring.

Quick question: How many penalty points can be given to a driver in one race?

You could achieve an immediate race ban if you did something pretty egarious like ramming drivers off the road. I would say if he intentionally collided with the leaders as they lapped him, it would do it.

Otherwise, you get points for each separate offence, so he just needs 4 or 5 serious incidents.

Lance Stroll got an immediate race ban in f3

It's in a 12 month period though so it rolls over to late in the 2025 season iirc

Oh, sorry, I meant in a single race, assuming you wanted to see him banned. I think if they are totally separate, then they won't make any leeway with reducing the points.

There was an F2 driver that got 9 points in one race a few years back

So, not enough for another race ban.

For those wondering, a driver needs to have 12 penalty points for a race ban.
