It rarely happens, but Formula 1 drivers may well be excluded from lob to lob. This is due to the so-called penalty point system, and this is where Kevin Magnussen can get into trouble.
He's not there yet.
But with 10 of the so-called penalty points this season, Danish Kevin Magnussen is actually only two points away from suspension.
So in one lobe. The points will disappear over time if the Dane does not fool himself further in the eyes of the international motorsport organization FIA.

But the first of the penalty points for K-Mag expire on March 9, 2025 at the earliest. That's what Planetf1 writes.
Team mate Nico Hulkenberg has just two penalty points and they will disappear already this month. Specifically, May 29, 2024.
So far, there has not been a Formula 1 driver who has been refused a start due to too many penalty points, but it has happened that a Formula 1 driver has lost the super licence, which is required to drive Formula 1.
Japanese Yuji Ide was so hopeless in a Formula 1 car that his career in the motorsport class ended after just four laps with the Super Aguri team in 2006. The team, which itself also held a Japanese license in Formula 1 and was headquartered in Tokyo, gave up after the 2008 season.
In total, it was just two years in Formula 1, because Super Aguri gave up. Neither before nor since has a Japanese team succeeded in winning anything in the sport. Even a team like Toyota, which otherwise spent billions of kroner every year, got nothing out of the royal class.
