In a game of millions, what's 10 seconds versus 10 million?
The scorecard may read one point for Kevin Magnussen but an in-depth dive shows he is responsible for half of his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg’s six.
Tsunoda decried it as “unfair”, but as Magnussen put it, it was “good teamwork”. The stewards didn’t throw the book at Magnussen for his negative tactics, although James Vowles said that’s “not how” F1 should go racing and called for a review. He was one of several voicing that concern. Fast forward two months on from Saudi Arabia, and lining up on the Sprint grid in Miami with five points on his Super Licence – all for causing collisions, Magnussen revisited his Jeddah tactics as he once again protected Hulkenberg, this time from Lewis Hamilton.
, the stewards quashing that on the grounds that for such a serious offence, “there must be clear evidence of an intention to behave in a manner that can be said to be unsportsmanlike”. Andrea Stella, despite his McLaren team not being affected by it, called for a race ban, saying: “Maybe you need to spend a weekend at home with your family, reflect on your sportsmanship and then go back.
Magnussen should not be vilified for Saturday’s antics, as he did nothing that is outside of the rules. They say if you do this then here’s your penalty. He did that, and there was his penalty.
