P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Let us know your thoughts in the latest RacingNews365 poll – based on Kevin Magnussen being on the cusp of a Formula 1 race ban.
Kevin Magnussen is close to testing an untried rule in F1’s sporting regulations involving penalty points on his superlicence. The system awards points for offenses committed on track. Surprisingly, Magnussen has accumulated the most points of any driver so far, coming closest to the 12-point threshold that triggers a ban. Despite recent calls to adjust the system to fit the current race calendar, no changes are planned. Magnussen’s next opportunity to remove points from his record isn’t until March 2025, potentially leading to a ban if he continues his aggressive driving. It raises the question of whether Magnussen should be banned or if the penalty points system needs updating to better suit today’s F1 landscape.
