Lewis Hamilton said he welcomed Kevin Magnussen’s honesty in admitting that his ultra-defensive “stupid tactics” in Miami’s Formula 1 sprint race were down to trying to help his team.
The seven-time world champion and his Haas rival had some fraught moments during their fight for eighth place in the sprint. Magnussen picked up a penalty for cutting the chicane on one lap, they banged wheels later on and then both ran off the circuit later during their fight.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff felt ultimately that Mercedes lacked pace around the Miami circuit with poor straightline speed. “I think that penalty for the pitlane speeding, these things can happen, these errors,” he said.
