Red Bull “desperately” hopes that star driver Max Verstappen doesn’t pick up another F1 penalty point over the course of this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, which would earn him a one-race ban from the series.

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension.

Max Verstappen will need to have two clean weekends to ensure he is not hit with a race ban; Verstappen has no plans to change how he races his rivals; watch every session from the Canadian Grand Prix live on Sky Sports F1 from Practice One at 6.
