Title is a bit misleading, he didn't get an additional penalty. Just the penalty he got came with penalty points.

MODERATORS
For the Lap 64 contact that put Norris out of the race and demoted Verstappen to fifth after punctures, the stewards handed the world champion a 10-second time penalty.
It did not drop him from fifth however, as he was well ahead of the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg.
However, the stewards have also decided to award Verstappen two penalty points on his super-licence, bringing his total for the 12 month period to four, with 12 needed for ban.
Regardless of opinions, if they penalized him from the contact it means they assign blame to him, so the penalty points make sense.
