Guenther Steiner says his former F1 driver168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Kevin Magnussen “can’t be proud” of his controversial tactics in Miami which have left him on the verge of a race ba𝓰n.

Magnussen was handed three 10-second time penalties for repeatedly leaving the track and gaining advantages, as well as a one five-second penalty for track-limits abuse in his defence against Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton during the Miami Grand Prix sprint race.

The Dane racked up five penalty points on his superlicence across the weekend in Florida and is potentially just one more incident away fꦡrom triggering an automatic race ban.

Magnussen, who was also penalised in Jeddah for using similar tactics against168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda, must tread carefully for the rest of the season as al𓂃l 10 of his existing points have been accumulated in the first six races of 2024ℱ.

Former Haas team principal Steiner has weighed in on Magnussen’s actions, telling Sky Deutschland: “It has to be fair play. You can ✅be aggressive, but we’ve seen this game for the second time [Jeddah also].

“As a driver, you can’t be proud if you ruin someone else’s ra♊ce.”

Steiner believes a drive-t✨hrough penalty would be a better💛 punishment for repeat offences of such tactics.

“Once you get th💎e first ten seconds, it doesn’t matter whether you get another ten seconds. That’s why a drive-through pena𝓡lty is definitely noticeable,” he said.

“You then have to ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtake this penalty within a few laps and then you’re gone and can’t cause an🐻y further trouble.”

Magnu🌟ssen admꦦitted his penalties were “well deserved” for his “stupid tactics”.

“I started using these stupid tactics, which I don’t like ✅doing,” he told Sky Sports F1. “But, at the end o🌠f the day, I did my job as a team player.

“Nico [Hulkenberg, Haas teammate] scored h🌟is points because I got that gap for him. Lewis and Tsunoda couldn’t catch him. Not the𒁏 way I like to go racing, at all, but [was] what I had to do today.”
