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.

Max Verstappen is on the verge of facing an F1 race ban following his crash with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday.
