Atom In this entry, I log penalties after each race, primarily for figuring out who is on the path to a grid drop.
Each race, I will list steward's investigations as indicated on the FIA website and on other reputable sites. For each driver who has been subject to such an investigation, I will list how many reprimands (with "procedural" reprimands such as missing the driver parade in brackets), incidents attracting more than reprimands and investigations where no penalty was given. Reprimands are the lowest penalty the FIA can give, so there is no need for a "penalties less than a reprimand" category.
Try not to worry if you see your favourite driver with a long list of "investigations", for I intend to include any incident where they were cited in the investigation. It may be more helpful to think of it as a "trouble magnet" score than a "trouble causer" one. If your driver (or team) does not appear at all, they haven't been involved in anything that has attracted the stewards' attention so far.
Some penalties do not appear to be put onto the FIA website. As far as possible, I will track these too, linking to where I found out the infraction had occurred.
Teams aren't affected by this directly, but I decided to track their penalties too. Just because I felt like it. Also in the "just because I felt like it" category is the steward tracker, giving who's done how many races and where. Both start counting from the British Grand Prix.
Stewards this meeting:
Tom Kristensen, Garry Connelly and Farhan Vohra. This is distinctly odd as there should be four stewards each race. However, the FIA official documents had become locked before I was able to read them, so it's possible the fourth steward's identity simply wasn't recorded elsewhere.
Once this year:
Nigel Mansell, Nicholas Deschaux, Lars Osterlind, Dennis Carter, Tom Kristensen, Garry Connelly and Farhan Vohra.
