F1 teams will reporteꦦdly discuss a rule-change at Imola to bring in tougher penalties for drivers who deliber🔴ately cut the track.

Haas’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen drew criticism in Miami for ඣhis aggressive defensive tactics.

Magnussen was hit with three 10-second time penalties for leaving the track and gaining an advantage by keepinဣg ꦫLewis Hamilton behind him.

He also received a five-second time penaꦫlty for leaving the track again for no reason.

Magnussen later admitted his methods were to bolster teammate Niꦆco Hulkenberg’s hopes of scoring points.

Thꦬe FIA wants to bring in harsher penalties to prevent F1 drivers rep꧙eating Magnussen’s antics, report.

A drive-through - forcing the d𒁏river to pit and giveཧ up his position within two laps of his offence - is on the table.

The tougher penalty would be dished o🔜ut when a driver offends repeatedly, and stewards suspe💃ct he is doing it intentionally.

It will be a topic of discussion between teams, stewards and the FIA at F🌠riday’s team managers’ meeting at the F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Karun Chandhok criti✤cised Magnussen’s tactics in Miami: “When you🐷 are running off the track and taking the other car with you, it’s not particularly sporting.

“You’ve got to play the game. But ꦍyou’ve also got to be fair to the other competitors.”

Magnussen was also criticised his former boss Guenther Steiner: “It has to be fair play. You can be aggressive, but we’ve seen this ga🉐me for the second time [Jeddah also].

“As a driver, you can’t be proud if you ruin someone else’s race.🉐”

Mar🐬tin Brundle’s assessment was: “He put up a supremely aggressive defence against Hamilton in the Sprint, sometimes over the limit but nevertheless applauded even by Hamilton.

"♛But in the race Magnussen's crash with Sargeant was just silly and unnecessary.”
