Haas F1 star BANNED after FIA penalty

Haas star Kevin Magnussen is set for a one-race ban from Formula 1 after picking up two more penalty points for an incident at the Italian Grand Prix.

The Danish driver moved onto 12 points on his licence with the penalty, as well as losing 10 seconds in the race itself, a punishment which was confirmed by the FIA after the race.

Magnussen was penalized for an incident with Pierre Gasly, which adds two consequential penalty points to his Super Licence, and ensures that he will sit out the next race in Baku.

An automatic one-race ban is applied if a driver is awarded 12 penalty points in a 12-month timeframe.

Who will replace Kevin Magnussen?

Magnussen may have competed in his last Italian GP, after being replaced at Haas next year by the incoming Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon.

It's likely that Bearman will also replace the Dane for the next race in Baku, as one of the team's two reserve drivers – and the only one not scheduled to be racing in IndyCar on the day of the next race.

With only two seats remaining on the grid for next year, it is unlikely that the 31-year-old will be offered a full-time opportunity on the F1 grid for 2025.
