Yuki Tsunoda has received an additional punishment for being judged as having forced Lando Norris off the circuit during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 

Norris fell behind Tsunoda after completing his first pit stop at the Yas Marina Circuit, with Red Bull having instructed the Japanese driver to make life difficult for the Briton. 

Tsunoda did just that; however, he forced Norris off the circuit along the main straight and received a five-second time penalty. 

Following the race, in which Norris became world champion, it was announced by the FIA that Tsunoda had also received a penalty point for the incident. 

He now sits on eight penalty points, four adrift of a race ban; however, he will not be on the grid next season after being replaced by Isack Hadjar. 

The FIA stewards' report read: "The Stewards reviewed video, team radio and in-car video evidence. Car 4 was making an overtaking move on Car 22. 

"Car 22 made a number of changes of direction which ultimately resulted in Car 4 having to go off track to avoid a collision. In doing so, Car 22 also effectively forced Car 4 off the track."

Liam Lawson also received a penalty point for erratic driving, something he got a five-second time penalty for.
