MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Romain Grosjean's failure to obey blue flags during the Singapore Grand Prix has seen the stewards hit him with two penalty points, taking his tally to nine as he inches towards a race ban.
Grosjean and Sergey Sirotkin both ignored blue flags on Lap 38 in Singapore as eventual race winner Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen came up to lap them. Both drivers copped a five-second penalty at the time but the two penalty points will be more concerning for Grosjean, who is now just three away from having to sit out a grand prix.
