In F1, when you receive a penalty for committing an infringement important, in addition to possible penalties, come removed points on the superlicense. The procedure is similar to how it happens for the normal driving licence. After a certain number of improprieties that have led to these points being removed, one may run into the disqualification, the one that, during a grand prix, is represented by black flag. In recent history, to go back to the last event, you have to go back to 2012, when Romain Grosjean he was the architect of a veritable disaster at the start of Spa GP and was forced out of the cockpit in the next event, a Monza.
Gasly risks, but still for 3 races
To date, there is only one driver who risks disqualification from a Grand Prix: Pierre Gasly. Due to multiple accidents, the Frenchman has been seen to disappear 10 out of 12 points of his licence. This means that, with another recall, he could hit the maximum threshold and have to make room for the reserve pilot ofAlpine, or jack doohan. In the last appointment played, in Australia, Has risked a lot. During the third start, he was featured in a cut of the first chicane, getting back on track in a manner somewhat dangerous, and finishing against his teammate Esteban Ocon. However, the accident was judged by the marshals as "of competition", since it all happened between two riders from the same team. Salvation for Gasly, to whom no penalty was attributed and, consequently, no extra points.
The good news
On his side, however, there is the same regulation. In fact, we read that from 22st May they will be returned 2 points to each pilot. This would help the #10 chase away the shadow of exclusion from a race. The last hurdle, therefore, should be the Azerbaijan GPin program returning from this little break at the end of April. The Baku GP is among the 3 that more chaotic (the other tracks are that of Miami and Imola), but we recall that Gasly in Baku got a third place with his old car, theAlpha Tauri.
