Kevin Magnussen edged closer to an FIA-imposed race ban after accumulating significant penalty points over the Miami Grand Prix weekend.
The Miami Grand Prix was marred by multiple penalties, but it was Kevin Magnussen who bore the brunt, moving dangerously close to a mandatory race ban. The Haas driver's weekend was plagued by infractions that nudged him near the FIA's threshold.
The drama unfolded progressively, beginning during the sprint race, where Magnussen and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton tangled not once, but twice. Initially, Magnussen darted off-track at a chicane while fending off Hamilton for eighth position. For leaving the track and gaining an advantage, he was handed a 10-second penalty. The duo's second clash on the 14th lap saw Magnussen allegedly push Hamilton off the track, culminating in another 10-second punishment for the aggressive maneuver.
The Danish driver accumulated five additional penalty points across the weekend, raising his tally to a precarious total of 10 on his FIA Super Licence. This accumulation is critically close to the 12-point limit, beyond which a race ban becomes inevitable.
