Kevin Magnussen antics “over the limit” as race ban looms
“When you are running off the ๊track and taking the other car with you, it’s not particularly sporting."

Kevin Magnussen’s tacti💦cs at the F1 Miami Grand Prix have been criticised as “over the𝔉 limit”.
A penalty-laden weekend in Miami saw Haꦛas driver Magnussen hit with four penalti🔥es in the sprint race alone, for his defending against Lewis Hamilton.
He then picked up a ꧟time penalty and two penalty points for clashing with Logan Sargeant in the grand prix.
Haas were already und꧙er the mi൩croscope after “unsportsmanlike” accusations at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Magnussen’s rap sheet leaves him o♍nly two points short of🌳 a race ban.
But his blunt honesty about the tactics used to stop Hamilt𒆙onꦺ - and the Mercedes driver’s response - caught the eye.
“It was a little bit ov🌳er the limit൲,” Karun Chandhok told the Sky F1 podcast.
“What he did in Jeddah was fine because he stay𒈔ed within the track, and backed people up in a clever tactica♎l way.
“But I thought some of the stuff with Lewis…
“When you are runni꧑ng off the track and taking the other car with𒁃 you, it’s not particularly sporting.
“You’ve got t꧙o play the game. But you’ve also got to be fair to the other competitors.”
Magnussen gave a frank interview afterwards admitting to trying to assist teammate Nico Hulkenberg into 𒁃a points finish.
"All🔯 the penalties were well deserved - n🌸o doubt about it,” Magnussen said.
“But I had to play the game again.”
Hamilton responded: “I think that’s re𓄧ally honest of him and I think ﷽that’s pretty cool.”
Natalie Pinkham, who𒁏 interviewed Magnussen, reacted on the Sky F1 podcast: "I was surprised because I’m used to d𝐆rivers saying ‘not my fault, mate!’
"I’m torn on this because I am a b𒉰ig K-M✤ag fan. He’s a great guy.
"To hear🧜 him be so candid and honest was refreshing.
"To hear Lewis’ response surprised me more. He said:꧋ ‘Fair play, I respect his ൩honesty, I didn’t have a problem with it’.
"If Lewis doesn’t have a problem with it, then I certainl🐠y don’t.
"I don’t make the rules. I enjoyed seeing them tough it o🌱ut!"
