Kevin Magnussen has been handed a one-race ban following a collision with Pierre Gasly during the Italian Grand Prix, which pushed his penalty points total to 12 within a 12-month period. The incident, deemed Magnussen's fault, resulted in a 10-second penalty and two additional penalty points, forcing him to miss the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix. This marks the first race ban under the FIA's penalty points system since its implementation in 2014. Magnussen and Gasly both expressed confusion and frustration over the severity of the penalty. British teenager Ollie Bearman, slated to join Haas full-time in 2025, is the likely replacement for Magnussen in Baku.
