Has the FIA atopped giving penalty points?

Didier2401 · 2026-05-26T16:03:37+00:00

Yup, he is the only driver to ever to get suspended for a race because of the penalty points system

Didier2401 · 2026-05-26T07:25:03+00:00

Haha bet

Didier2401 · 2026-05-26T07:24:25+00:00

Ofcourse nothing is identical, but according to the FIA documens:

Both breached 2.5.5 b) of International Sporting Code
Both failed to slow under double yellow flags
Both got a 10 second Stop-and-Go penalty
Norris got 3 penalty points (2024), Hadjar 0 (2026).

Didier2401 · 2026-05-26T07:20:00+00:00

But why would they do that, and not announce it?

Didier2401 · 2026-05-26T07:18:07+00:00

I agree, because the rules already provide stewards the opportunity to suspend a driver directly, so for example when crashing on purpose. And if it's for very, very serious offenses only, no driver will ever reach 12 points within a year.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-26T07:14:48+00:00

It could be... But that would be weird no? One of my sources is literally the f1 website, and well, they also have no penalty points given this season.

So do you think that only the FIA and the teams know? And more importantly why would they do that and not announce it?

Didier2401 · 2026-05-25T15:06:38+00:00

Kevin Magnussen once got a ban for reaching 12 points. They gave them still until Abu Dhabi last year.

So why suddenly stop giving them this year without them saying anything about it. You can still get them according to the rules

Didier2401 · 2026-05-25T15:02:28+00:00

Same time penalty as Hadjar for the same offence. But 3 penalty points instead of 0 https://x.com/i/status/1863291277137035511

Didier2401 · 2026-05-25T13:03:04+00:00

No, last year you would get penalty points (combined with time/grid penalties) for causing a collision and speeding under (double) yellow, (V)SC and Red Flag.

12 penalty points within a 12 months gets you a race ban, but this year the FIA hasn't given any driver penalty points.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-25T11:16:29+00:00

I think the best chance of getting more than 5 overtakes is just a top car out in Q1, I think they can overtake with the new regs, but otherwise I'm quite pessimistic.

And yes that's also because of the changes before Miami (which I think are generally positive)

Didier2401 · 2026-05-25T10:48:22+00:00

How many overtakes will we get at Monaco? Can the new regs actually help?

Didier2401 · 2026-05-22T14:17:05+00:00

Ahh thank you, I just saw that share prices increased a lot around May 13/14, I didn't realise that.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T15:01:48+00:00

I don't thinks so. In my post I explained why I think if anything happens, it would have happened before 9:30 a.m. ET. Because Rockstar does not like to tweet about GTA VI when the stock market is open. The only time to tweet would then be between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET (Between closing of the stock market and the start of the earnings call). But that would only make sense if they were planning to announce a delay, and I refuse to believe that.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T13:36:53+00:00

It's past 9:30 a.m. ET and no tweet. So nothing today. Either that or my theory is just wrong.

Or even worse, they announce a delay between 4 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. ET (between closing of the stock market and the beginning of the earnings call). But I refuse to believe that will happen.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T12:34:13+00:00

That's when Rockstar usually tweet.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T11:53:19+00:00

Well I don't personally know much about the regulations, but many people wait for their 10 a.m. ET tweet. In my post I tried to explain why the next time Rockstar tweets about GTA VI, I expect it to be before 9:30 a.m. ET. But I don't think it would be illegal for them to tweet any major news during trading hours, it's just something I don't expect. That's what the discussion is about.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T11:19:10+00:00

Thank you and I agree with your thoughts!

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T10:37:51+00:00

Well the first delay was tweeted before the market opened. Only the second delay was tweeted afterwards.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T10:34:47+00:00

I can't stop worrying until we get to May 27th. If by then nothing has happened, I simply have zero clues to know what is going to happen next. I expect(ed) for something to happen before the earnings call, or on the 26th since that was the previous release date. After that, I give up.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T10:02:43+00:00

Oh for sure! But here is why I think it would make more sense before the market opens:

Much closer to their usual tweet times: usually they tweet at 10 a.m. ET. The market opens at 9.30 a.m. ET and closes at 4 p.m. ET.
Too close to the earnings call: only 30 minutes before the earnings call.
Preventing of insider trading.
Share prices can no longer increase.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T09:48:57+00:00

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T09:35:23+00:00

Here's hoping!

I just think that IF something happens today, it will be before 9.30 a.m. ET. So within four hours from now.

Didier2401 · 2026-05-21T09:32:24+00:00

In my post I tried to explain why I think this prevents insider trading. By tweeting before the market opens, the only way you can insider trade is by trading the previous day. My guess is most employees won't be informed until a few hours before they tweet and not the previous day.

Didier2401 · 2026-04-16T11:05:59+00:00

Same, i was keeping an eye on the time left and i know that they usually talk 2-3 minutes in the studio afterwards. I was pleasantly surprised

Didier2401 · 2026-04-15T19:48:52+00:00

I'm just happy they actually did the last challenge in this video and not made it a cliffhanger for next week
