Kevin Magnussen of Haas has been handed a one-race ban for accumulating 12 penalty points, becoming the first F1 driver to reach this threshold since the rule's introduction. The ban follows a collision with Pierre Gasly during the Italian Grand Prix, which resulted in a 10-second penalty and two additional points. Magnussen expressed disappointment with the penalties, arguing that the incident did not warrant such a severe punishment, especially compared to other racing incidents. His team principal acknowledged that the team's strategy could have prevented the incident. Ferrari reserve driver Oliver Bearman is poised to replace Magnussen at the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The situation highlights ongoing discussions about the consistency of penalties within Formula One.
