Kevin Magnussen’s tactics at the F1 Mia🏅mi Grand Prix have been criticised as “over the limit”.

A penalty-laden weekend in Miami saw Haas driver Magnussen hit with four penalt𒉰ies in the sprint race alone, for his defending against Lewis Hamilton.

He then picked up a time penalty and two penalty points for🎀 clashing with Logan Sargeant in the grand prix.

Haas were already unde🍸r the microscope after “unsportsmanlik🧔e” accusations at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Magnussen’🎉s rap sheet leaves him only💟 two points short of a race ban.

But his blunt honesty about the tactics used to stop Hamilton - and the Mercedes driver’s response - caught the eℱ༒ye.

“It was a little bit over the limit,🅺” Karun Chandhok told the Sky F1 podcast.

“What he did in Jeddah was fine because he stayed within the track, and backed people up in a cꦍlever tactical way.

“But I thought some of the stuff with Lewis…

“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 gam🍸e. But you’ve also got to be fair to 🅺the other competitors.”

Magnussen gave a frank interview afterwards admitting to trying to assist teammate Nico H♍ulkenberg into a points finish.

"All the penalties were well deserved - no doℱubt about it,” Magnussen sai💦d.

“But I had to play the game again.”

Hamilton responded: “I think that’s really honest of him and I think that’ওs pretty🍃 cool.”

Natalie Pinkham, 𒊎who interviewed Magnussen, reacted on the Sky F1 podcast: "I was surprised because I’m used to drivers saying ‘not my fault, mate!’

"I’m torn on this because I am a big K-Mag faꦛn. He’s a great guy.

"To hear him be so candid and honest wꦯas refreshing.

"To hear Lewis’ respon🍒se surprised me more. He said: ‘Fair play, I respect his honesty, I didn’t have a problem with it’.

"If Lewis doesn’t have a problem wit🤡h it, then I certainly don’t.

"I don’t make the rules. I ꧑enjoyed see🌸ing them tough it out!"
