Kevin Magnussen says he is the “first to adꦬmit” he has “overstepped the line” at some points during his Formula 1 career, but insists he is not the only driver to do so. 

The Haas driver has had a number of controversial scraps with his rivals over the years, including a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:heated post-race verbal exchange witꦫh Nico Hulkenberg after clashing on-track during the 2017 Hungaria🐼n Grand Prix. 

Magnussen also had notable run-ins with two-time world champion Fernando Alonso during 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:qualifying for the 2018 Italia✤n Gran▨d Prix and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly at thܫe Azerbaijan Grand♉ Prix earlier that year. 

Speaking in an Instagram live intervieꦓw with Formula 1, the Dane defending his driving and stressed he is not the only driver to have pushed the boundaries. 

“There 🍃are certainly some drivers who have had some issues with it and complained ab🌄out it and I’m the first to admit that I have overstepped the line at some points, but I don’t think I’m the only one who’s done that.”

Magnussen believes part of the reason stems from getting embroiled in midfield battles which he feels can at times be more🌠 intense than fights for positions further up the grid. 

“The thing is, the൩ last few years, I’ve been battling right in the midfield and often in the mid🍎field,” he explained. 

“If you’re in P10 and you’re getti💞ng caught from behind from P11 or the other way rouꦫnd… there’s that one point to gain… and there’s not really a lot to lose. I’ve had had very tough battles for P10. Some of them were over the limit.

“The way I see it is: You’ve got to take it to the limit, not over the lim𓂃it, for sure, but you’ve got to take it to the limit with💖 your driving style. 

“You have to not take it over the line but to the line, but sometimes tಌh﷽at can be hard to find; certainly it’s better to take it under not over.”
