Max Verstappen remains on the cusp of a one-race ban from the sport, as his Red Bull F1 team-mate Yuki Tsunoda was also handed two penalty points during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend.

Verstappen has just one more race to survive in Austria next time out before two of his penalty points expire on June 30.

If the Dutchman does pick up one more penalty point at the Red Bull Ring, he will be banned for the British GP, but his good behaviour in Canada means he has given himself a better chance of surviving what would be a huge blow to his championship chances.

Tsunoda was handed a 10-place grid penalty for overtaking Oscar Piastri under red-flag conditions in FP3, something that dropped him right down to 18th due to penalties for other drivers behind him as well.

How real is the threat of a Max Verstappen F1 ban?

The threat of a Verstappen ban is very real, although it has now significantly diminished due to him surviving the Canadian GP weekend without picking up any penalty points.

Verstappen is going to have to once again be on his best behaviour in Austria next time out, a track where he received two points last season for causing a collision with Lando Norris which left the Brit out of the race.

The Dutchman is known for racing right on the very edge, which is partly why he has been so successful in his career, claiming 65 race victories and four consecutive world championships.
