Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and McLaren’s Lando Norris have both edged closer to a one-event suspension after picking up penalty points at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Perez was given two five-second time penalties while battling Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and for each of those indiscretions he was handed two penalty points.
That brings his rolling 12-month total up to eight points, with drivers handed a one-race ban if they collect 12 during that period.
Perez’s next point will expire in mid-August.
Norris was issued with two penalty points for forcing Perez wide on the opening lap, bringing his rolling 12-month total up to 10.
However two of those will be wiped from his record before the next track action at the British Grand Prix.
Nevertheless Norris will not have two of those eight points erased from his record until mid-November.
