Kevin Magnussen has officially been banned from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The Haas driver will not race in Baku following the stewards handing him two penalty points in the Italian GP for a collision with Pierre Gasly at Turn 4.
Both cars were able to continue without damage, leading to Magnussen to hit out at the stewards for their decision-making - but he will be suspended for the Azerbaijan race across the weekend of September 13th-15th.
Magnussen is the first F1 driver to reach the 12-point threshold needed for a race ban since the system was introduced in 2014.
