Steiner on Magnussen DSQ: One day we will have a good show in F1
Haas team principal Gunther Steiner says he disagr𝕴ees with Formula 1’s current need for fuel-saving, following Kevin Magnussen’s disqualification from the United States Grand Prix.
The Dane was stripped of his points finish at the American squad’s home event afte൩r being found to have exceeded the maximum fuel allocation of 105kg during the race in Austin.
Magnussen had finished sandwiched between the Force India duo of Esteban Ocon - who was also thrown out of 𓂃the race for a fuel-related infringement – and Sergio Perez in ninth place before the penalty.

Haas team principal Gunther St🉐einer says he disagrees with Formula 1’s current need for fuel-saving, following Kevin Magnussen’s 🌃disqualification from the United States Grand Prix.
The Dane was stripped of his points finish at the Ameri🦩can squad’s home𝔍 event after being found to have exceeded the maximum fuel allocation of 105kg during the race in Austin.
Magnussen had finished sandwiched between the Force India duo of Esteban Ocon - who was also thrown out of t🌠he race for a fuel-related infringement – and Sergio Perez in ninth place beꦇfore the penalty.
F1 is set to increase the maximum fuel allocation to 110kg for next season and Steiner hopes the on-track spectacle will improve💧 under the new rules.
“In the end, that’s our responsibility to control the fuel amount, but I still disagree꧃ with Formula 1 having to run on these rules," he said.
“I hope next year, with having 110 kilograms, this will change, but we change another rule and p🍸ut a big front wing on, so maybe this will be the same.
“One day we👍’ll get to have a good show, but at the moment it isn’t.”
Prior to Magnussen’s penalt𒁏y being confirmed, Steiner had spoken of his frustrations of the heavy impetus placed on fuel saving in modern-day F1.
“It’s a fuel save race,” Steiner explained. “We could have had such a good fight between the two Force Indias and us without it, because they had to fuelꦇ save as well. It’s the same for every🌌body.
“I hope with the regulations next year, having more fuel that helps so we can race actually without always thinking we have to lift, lift, lift, are we not getting 🅠lap - it depends how fast you can go.
“If you put ourselves a factor in there, we want a good show, but then make sure you put𒉰 a regulation in that you don’t get one.
“Yo🍌u want to drive, you want to drive fast but you have to save fuel. It’s called racing. If you want to fuel save, you do something eౠlse.”
Following the race, Magnussen hit out at fuel-saving, claiming it is spoiling F1 races as he ꦦdubbed the sport ‘Formula Fuelsaving’.
