Magnussen to miss Azerbaijan GP after race ban

Magnussen, who is leaving the team at the end of the season, was given a 10-second penalty and two points for causing a collision with Alpine's Pierre Gasly at Monza, triggering the automatic ban.

The Dane still finished 10th in the Italian Grand Prix.

Stewards said in a statement that Magnussen's super licence had been suspended for the next race, after which the points will be removed.

Round 17 of the 24-race championship is in Baku on Sept 15.

Ferrari reserve Oliver Bearman, who will be racing for U.S.-owned Haas next season, could fill in after making his debut in Saudi Arabia in March as a stand-in for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, finishing seventh.

Magnussen commented after the race: "I'm happy with our race, but I'm disappointed with the penalty. I made slight contact with Pierre Gasly at Turn 4 and we both missed the corner but there was no damage on either car, it had no consequence, plus we were racing.

"I'm happy with today's point, the balance and performance in the car, our strategy – we can take that away," he concluded.

Haas Team Principal, Ayao Komatsu, added: "We shouldn't have put Kevin in that position behind Gasly, so again our execution wasn't perfect and that's something we need to improve.

"Post-race Kevin received two penalty points which means a one-race ban and won't be racing in Baku," Komatsu concluded.
