Antonelli slapped with Italian GP punishment as star at risk of race ban
Kimi Antonelli received additional punishment in addition to his five-second penalty at the Italian Grand Prix for driving aggressively and pushing Alex Albon off the track, resulting in a ninth-place finish.
As a result of the incident, the Mercedes rookie was also given a penalty point, bringing his total to five over a 12-month period, nearing the threshold of 12 points that could lead to a one-race ban.
