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

Kev👍in Magnussen’s tactics at the F1 Miami Grand Prix have been criticised as “over the limit”.
A penalty-laden weekend in Miami saw Haas driver Magnussen hit with four penalties in the꧒ sprint race alone, for his defending against Lewis Hamilton.
He then pickജed up a time penalty and tꦚwo penalty points for clashing with Logan Sargeant in the grand prix.
Haas were already under th𝄹e microscope after “unsportsmanlike” accusations at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Magnusseꦐn’s rap sheet leaves him 🃏only two points short of a race ban.
But his blunt honesty about the tactics used to sto൩p Hamilton - and the Mercedes driver’s response - caught the eye.
“It was a little bit over the limit,” Karun Chandhok to🤪ld the Sky F1 podcast.
“What he did i🐓n Jeddah was fine becau꧃se he stayed within the track, and backed people up in a clever tactical way.
“But I thought some of the stuff with Lewis…
“When you are runni𝔉ng off the track and taking the other car with you, it’s not particularly sporting.
“You’ve got to play the game. But you’ve also got to be fair to the other coꦰmpetitors.”
Maౠgnussen gave a frank interview afterwards admitting to trying to assist teammate Nico Hulkenberg into a po🐠ints finish.
"All the penalties were well deserved - no doubt ab𝓀out ♏it,” Magnussen said.
“But I had to play the game again.”
Hamilton responded: “I think that’s really honest of him and I think that’s𒐪 pr▨etty cool.”
Natalie൲ Pinkham, who interviewed Magnussen, reacted on the Sky F1 podcast: 𝕴"I was surprised because I’m used to drivers saying ‘not my fault, mate!’
"I’m tor🍰n on this because I am a big K-Mag 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 honesty, I didn’t h😼ave a problem with it’.
"If Lewis doesn’t have a problem with it, 🌞then I certainly don’t.
"I don’t 🅷make the rules. I enjoyed se𝐆eing them tough it out!"
