“When you are running off the track and taking the other car with you, it’s not particularly sporting."
A penalty-laden weekend in Miami saw Haas driver Magnussen hit with four penalties 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 under the microscope after “unsportsmanlike” accusations at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.But his blunt honesty about the tactics used to stop Hamilton - and the Mercedes driver’s response - caught the eye.“What he did in Jeddah was fine because he stayed within the track, and backed people up in a clever tactical way.“When you are running off the track and taking the other car with you, it’s not particularly sporting.
"To hear Lewis’ response surprised me more. He said: ‘Fair play, I respect his honesty, I didn’t have a problem with it’."I don’t make the rules. I enjoyed seeing them tough it out!"
