F1 reprimand

What a reprimand means, when it escalates, and every one on record.

A formal, recorded warning with no time or grid penalty. It marks that a driver did something wrong without changing their result.

When it escalates
Reprimands accumulate over a season: a driver’s fifth reprimand (provided at least four were for driving infringements) brings an automatic 10-place grid penalty.
