Kevin Magnussen became the first driver to be banned under the penalty points system earlier this year.
Kevin Magnussen has proposed a new system for handling race bans in F1 following his suspension in Azerbaijan. He accrued 12 penalty points on his super licence, resulting in a ban after an incident with Pierre Gasly at the Italian GP. Magnussen suggests implementing race bans specifically for “extraordinarily dangerous driving” to ensure consistent steward decision-making. He highlighted his own experience of accumulating points and facing a harsher penalty due to starting the season with zero points. Magnussen acknowledged the complexity of the system and the challenge of suggesting definitive changes for improvement.
