Banned! The F1 drivers who’ve been barred from racing

F1's history of race bans is far more complex than just FIA sanctions, and several world champions – including a driver who managed to compete in the race he was banned from! – appear in what could be termed as 'unofficial' bans.
The F1 superlicence penalty points system introduced in 2014 has yet to lead to a race ban, although Romain Grosjean came close last year.
