[Saba Sports News] Haas driver Kevin Magnussen faced penalties following the F1 Miami Grand Prix after colliding with Logan Sargeant during the race. Magnussen received a 10-second penalty and two additional penalty points on his super license, bringing his total to 10 points within five race weekends. Under the F1 super driver’s license point deduction system, drivers accumulate 12 points over 12 months, leading to automatic suspension for one race. Magnussen, wary of accumulating the remaining two points, faces the prospect of becoming the first driver to be automatically suspended under this system. As of now, no driver has reached the threshold for automatic suspension. Magnussen’s situation underscores the importance of driving carefully, adhering to track rules, and minimizing errors and accidents to avoid penalties and maintain eligibility to race.
