Max Verstappen is just one penalty point away from receiving a race ban ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix – but another issue may be brewing inside Red Bull. The four-time champion is at risk of becoming only the second driver in F1 history to serve a race ban for accumulating 12 penalty points on his FIA super licence.

Max Verstappen's long-term future at Red Bull is now in fresh doubt, a new report has claimed. Verstappen has spent his entire career under the Red Bull umbrella, firstly debuting with Toro Rosso in 2015. After a promising first season, he was parachuted into the second Red Bull seat in the early stages of 2016 after Daniil Kvyat was dropped.

Formula One stars are ramping up their preparations for the Canadian Grand Prix after a one-week break following the chaos in Barcelona. Max Verstappen is on the brink of a ban after collecting his 11th penalty point for ramming into George Russell late on in that race.
