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.
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.
Singapore will have their shit fucked up. Kevin's confidence is very reassuring.
So does Kev now have 0 demerit points on his licence?
