After Max Verstappen’s collision with George Russell in the Spanish Grand Prix, the Dutch driver made a shocking remark. In a battle for fourth with just three laps to go, Verstappen collided with Mercedes driver Russell at Turn 5.

Max Verstappen was penalized for his crash with George Russell in the Spanish GP, but why wasn't he disqualified?

If a driver reaches 12 penalty points on their FIA Super License over a single calendar year period, they are hit with a one-race penalty ban. Last season Kevin Magnussen missed the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after accumulating enough penalty points to trigger the one-race ban at the previous race, the Italian Grand Prix.
