Stating a breach of Article 4.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations, the note reads: “The Super Licence of the driver of Car 20 is suspended for the next Competition of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship. Following this suspension, 12 penalty points will be removed.”
The last F1 driver to receive a race ban was Romain Grosjean back in 2012, when he was racing for Lotus, after he caused a multi-car crash at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix that season.
Speaking after the race – and prior to his ban being confirmed – Magnussen had been positive about his performance in the Italian Grand Prix but admitted that he did not agree with the 10-second penalty that he received.
“Happy with our race. I don’t know what’s going on with these penalties,” the 31-year-old said. “I mean, what’s the point? We had a slight contact into Turn 4, no damage on either car. It had no consequence, nobody lost anything. We both missed the corner but, hey, we’re racing.
“I just don’t get the point, honestly. I saw Nico almost had 300km/h, almost hit the barrier with the contact with [Daniel] Ricciardo and he [Ricciardo] got five seconds. I got 10 seconds for this. At this point, I don’t know what’s going on.
“Happy with today’s point, happy with the balance and the performance in the car and the strategy, so we can take that onwards.”
Asked if he intends to speak to the stewards about the matter, Magnussen added: “Yeah, I have to. It doesn’t make any sense. It makes zero sense.”
