Hah! I actually checked if I could, and apparently there is no 2014 league (yet?). Surprising... damn
from this year on, drivers collect points when doing something worng, which stay on their license for 12 months
and once they reach 12 points, they're banned for the next race
anyone know what happens with the points when they're banned?
the're stripped of all? they remain on their license for their period and are banned when they get perform one new infraction? they're deducted a fixed amount of points?
i don't seem to find any info on this...
my opinion: once they're banned, strip them of their 6 oldest points, the 6 newest remain...
The penalty system will be overhauled in 2014 so as to improve driving standards, with the introduction of a "penalty points" system for driving offences.[102] Under the system, driving offences will carry a pre-determined points value based on their severity. These points will be tallied up over the course of a season, with a driver receiving a race ban after accumulating twelve penalty points.[103] Any driver who received a race ban would also receive an additional five penalty points upon their return, as a form of probation to discourage further driving offences. Penalty points will remain on a driver's licence for twelve months, at which point they will be removed.
Once the ban is done, Id guess they've paid of their debt and it reverts to zero, but perhaps this is too logical for FIA?
That's not logical, when you get out of jail for a crime your records are not cleaned off, are they?
No, but your debt for past crimes has been paid off
...this way it counts double

Does the banned driver make place for a backup or is the car parked as well?
