If a driver reaches 12 penalty points on their FIA Super License over a single calendar year period, they are hit with a one-race penalty ban. Last season Kevin Magnussen missed the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after accumulating enough penalty points to trigger the one-race ban at the previous race, the Italian Grand Prix.

The Dutchman dropped down to P10 and suffered a big blow in his title ambitions, having caused a collision with George Russell. Sky Sports F1 pundit Nico Rosberg accused Verstappen of making a deliberate contact and wanted the Red Bull man disqualified from the race.

Max Verstappen is on the verge of facing an F1 race ban following his crash with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday.
