Magnussen became the first F1 driver in 12 years to be banned from a race after hitting the 12 penalty point threshold for a clash with Pierre Gasly at Monza, forcing him to miss the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Kevin Magnussen, the Haas F1 driver, has recently been embroiled in controversy following a race ban for the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The ban stems from a penalty incurred during the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where Magnussen accumulated 12 penalty points—an automatic trigger for a race suspension.
