P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Danish driver Magnussen has been suspended for one race after racking up 12 penalty points.
Haas announced that Oliver Bearman will substitute for Kevin Magnussen during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Regular race driver Magnussen is suspended for round 17 of the 2024 season due to accumulating 12 penalty points and getting his super-licence suspended. As the first F1 driver to be banned from a race under the system introduced in 2014, Magnussen received two penalty points in the Italian GP for a collision with Pierre Gasly. Reaching 12 penalty points leads to an automatic one-race ban, with Magnussen set to return with zero penalty points at the Singapore Grand Prix. Ferrari protégé Bearman will race in Magnussen’s place in Baku before his full-time debut with the team in 2025. This will be Bearman’s second F1 race of the season after replacing the appendicitis-stricken Carlos Sainz for Ferrari in Saudi Arabia, where he finished seventh.
