If Pastor Maldonado was the penalty king, then Fernando Alonso was the master of fair play in 2012.

That's the finding of Brazil's Globo Esporte, having compiled a list of the official FIA penalties attracted by F1's 24 drivers in 2012.

ZERO PENALTIES

Williams' Maldonado tops the list with 15 penalties, almost double the tally of penalty runner-up Sergio Perez, whose eight penalties was matched by World champion Sebastian Vettel's official infractions.

At the other extreme is Ferrari's Alonso, whose tally - zero - was matched only by German back-marker Timo Glock.

Alonso tweeted after the conclusion of the 2012 season: "I have no miracles, I make my miracles the correct rules.”
