F1 PENALTY POINTS SYSTEM SET FOR WINTER REVIEW AFTER MAGNUSSEN BAN
F1 officials, the FIA and teams set to discuss whether to review and potentially change the championship’s penalty points system after Haas driver becomes first to earn ban under it
The future of Formula 1’ penalty points system is set for a winter discussion between the championship’s stakeholders, which could lead to its alteration after Kevin Magnussen’s 2024 Baku ban.The system of drivers being suspended for a race if they hit a 12-point limit has been a key focus point for F1’s drivers since Magnussen reached 10 points for a series of sanctions during 2024’s early races – particularly his infractions at May’s Miami round.
When Haas driver Magnussen then collided with Alpine’s Pierre Gasly last time out at Monza, he was hit with two more penalty points, as well as a 10-second time addition, and has been banned from this weekend’s race in Azerbaijan, where he has been replaced by 2025 Haas signing Ollie Bearman.
