Kevin Magnussen has been dealt another penalty on his racing licence as well as getting a time penalty, as the Dane didn't manage to continue his good run of form and finished in P13.
The FIA investigated the collision between Magnussen and Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly, and the organization concluded that it was the Dane who was at fault. A harsh punishment was the outcome for K-Mag: ten seconds time penalty, as well as 2 points on his licence.
This means that Magnussen's total of penalty points is on eight. Once you reach twelve, you get suspended, which means that Magnussen is one Max Verstappen-like crash away from being suspended.
Is that punishment too harsh on the Dane? Or should the FIA lay down the law as they have here? Let us know in the comments!
