Kevin Magnussen says Nyck de Vries’ driving reflects his “desperate situation” in battle to save F1 career
Havin꧑g collided during the previous race in Canada, Haas driver Magnussen and AlphaTauri's de Vries came to blows on two separate occasions during Sunday’s Austrian Grand🐟 Prix.
Magnussen ended up in the Turn 4 gravel a♓s he attempted a move on de Vriᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚes following an early Safety Car restart. The Dane was later pushed off track at the outside of Turn 6 by de Vries, who was hit with a five-second penalty.
The underperforming de Vri🃏es is under intense scrutiny꧃ as he battles to save his AlphaTauri drive and Magnussen believes their altercations are evidence the Dutchman is feeling the pressure.
“He got a penalty, right? So he did pushꦐ me off but he’s, I guess, racing for his future,” Magnussen said.
“Maybe in a bi💞t of a desperate situation so nothing I can say♍ really.
“He got a penalty, it is what it is.”
Red Bull’s Helmut Marko has 168澳洲幸运5官方⭕开奖结果历史:reportedly given de Vries four races - including the Austrian Grand Prixඣ - to prove he des💝erves his seat.
“We [Magnussen and I] happen to like each other when it comes to meeting each🐻 other on track but I think it was hard racing, I’ll take the penalty,” de Vries said of his clash with Magnussen.
“Not ꦗmy entitlement to judge on that. Stewards gave me a pena♋lty and we took it. Thankfully for us we made a sufficient gap to not lose any positions.”
🤡He added: “I’m not the person who decides☂ whether I should get a penalty for it or not.
“We race hard, trying tꦯo find the limits and sometimes just beyond and sometimes below.”
