Hamilton and Magnussen engaged in a near-race long 🍸duel for the final point on offer in eighth and clashed on multiple occasions.
Haas driveꦜr Magnussen was hit with three different 10-second penalties for leaving the track and gaining an advantage during the battle, as well as a fourth penalty of five seconds for exceeding tracܫk limits several times.
Having colle👍cted a total of 35-seconds worth of penalties, Magnussen dropped from 10th down to 18th and last.
After the sprint race, Magnussen admitted all💮 of his penalties wer🃏e “deserved”.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton said he respected🐲 Magnussen’s honesty.
“I think that’s really honest of him and I think꧃ that’s pretty cool,” said Hamilton, who finished eighth on the road but slipped to 16th in the final classification after being hit with a 20-se꧂cond time penalty for pit lane speeding.
“We ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhad a good race. It was a little bit on the ed🌱ge in some places but that’s what I love. I love racing hard!
“For me, I ♈wasn’t really༺ frustrated or anything. But yeah, that’s what you do to work as a team, so bravo.”
Magnussen blamed the penalties on “stupid tactics” he had to use to help Haas teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg claim valuable points in seventh.
"All the penalties were wellꦅ deserved - no doubt about it,” the Dane conceded. “But I had to pཧlay the game again.
"I was in a very good position behind there. In the beginning of the race I gained a lot of positions and was up i🀅n P8.
"I was protecting well from Lewis because I had th🌊e DRS from Nico and I had good pace.
“But then Nico cut the chican🌜e, and I lost the DRS and Nico could have given that back to give me the DRS to protect, because then we would have easily been P7 and P8. Instead I was really vulnerable to Lewis, started fighting with him like crazy.
“I had to just create the gap like I did in J♉eddah and start using these stupid tactics, which I don’t like doing.
“But a🌠t the end of the day I did my job as a team player and Nico scored his points because I got that gap for him, so Lewis and Tsunoda couldn’t catch him. So not the way I like to go racing at all, but what I had to do today.”
