After the sprint race, Magnussen admitted all of his penalties were “de💧served”.

“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 classificatio🐲n after being hit with a 20-second time penalty for pit lane speeding.
“We had a good race. It was a little bit on the edge in some places but that’s what I love. I love racing h💮ard!

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 well deserved - no doubt about it,” the Dane conc♏eded. “But I had to play th🌠e 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 in P8.
"I was protecting well from ไLewis because I had the DRS from Nico and I had🐷 good pace.
“But then N༒ico cut the chicane, 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 Jeddah and start using these stupid tactics, which I don’t like doing.
“But at the end of the day I did my job as a team player and Nico scored his poin🐟ts 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.”
