Kevin Magnussen has slammed Fernando Alonso following their run-in during qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Saturday, saying the Spaniard “thinks he is God” and that he cannot wait for the McLaren d𝔉river to retire.

Magnussen and Alonso went wheel-to-wheel at Turn 1 in the final stages of Q2, causing both dꦗrivers to lose their final laps and drop out of qualifying as a result.

Alonso moaned that Magnussen was “trying to race” at Turn 1, having himself tried to pass the Dane around the outside of the corner, but the stewar🉐ds took no action over the incident.

“Fernando was intentionally trying to be close in the exit of P𝔉arabolica,” Magnussen explained.

“Even on thꦰe entry of Parabolica, he was intentionally trying to be close in order to have a perfect slipstrea꧋m and overtake into Turn 1. It’s just disrespectful.

“We were kinཧd of six or eight cars in a bit of a group, and at the exit of Ascari, Fernando was warming his brakes I think, not going fast. I’m going fast so I just cruised past him. But then for some reason he tries to accelerate and get close to me instead of creating a gap like everyone else is doing.

“Obviously he got a perfect slipstream and thought he could overtake into💜 Turn 1, but I’d rather hang mysel💃f.”

Magnussen said he didn’t care to speculate why Alonso made the mov൲e, saying it was “just pretty stupid 🌃and unnecessary.”

“He thought he could have th꧟e perfect slipstream and overtake me and then gain,” Magnussen said.

“I’m not going to let h🤪im past me a🐷nd sacrifice my own lap. No way. He thinks he’s God, but no way.

“He came to me after q🅠ualifying and l𒁏aughed to my face. Just outright disrespectful.

“I can’t wait for him to retire.”

Asked if he was amused by Alonso’s comments in general, Magnussen said: “He talks about his l🍌aps being divine and what not, he literally thinks he’s a God. It’s quite amusing.”

When the comments were put to Alonso and he wa🍸s asked if he had a response, the McLaren driver said: “Nothing.”
