Franco Colapinto, Arvid Lindblad, and Liam Lawson have all been awarded penalty points on their F1 superlicences following the Dutch Grand Prix.

The trio finished 14th, 12th, and seventh, respectively, but all were handed the points for infringements made under yellow flags at Zandvoort. 

Colapinto earned an initial two penalty points for overtaking Yuki Tsunoda under yellow flags at Turn 14 on the opening lap, with them being deployed for Max Verstappen's crash, and the sizeable amount of debris on the track. 

This moved him to three points in total for the 12-month period. 

He then earned another point for an unrelated incident in not slowing under yellow flags later in the race, bringing his total to four. 

Lindblad was handed his two penalty points for the same incident as Colapinto, but he passed Pierre Gasly, moving him to two penalty points for the 12-month period - the first of his career.

Both Colapinto and Lindblad were handed drive-through penalties for the opening lap incidents.

As for Lawson, he picked up a 10-second penalty and a single penalty point for not slowing under the yellows for the same incident as Colapinto - which was triggered by Esteban Ocon's Haas stopping at Turn 3.
