“We just had slight contact and missed the corner. So what?"
has disagreed with the stewards’ decision to penalise him at the F1 Italian Grand Prix, leading to a race ban.
The Haas driver has become the first F1 driver since Romain Grosjean in 2012 to face a one-race ban due to the accumulation of penalty points on his licence. He was hit with a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points for contact with Alpine’s Pierre Gasly at Monaco, bringing his total to 12.He fumed to Sky Sports: “Me and Gasly had slight contact. “There was no damage on either car, no consequence in the race…“I don’t know why we need to throw around penalties like this.“I’m not saying he did it on purpose but, still, he got five seconds and I got 10 seconds. It doesn’t add up, at all.
Before the decision was announced, he insisted that he was not worried about the prospect of a race ban.“Usually it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t change anything,” he said.“They don’t want racing, that’s what it seems to me.“It doesn’t make sense.”“He’s in the slipstream coming around Curva Grande in the slipstream,” Chandhok said about Magnussen on Sky Sports.“Gasly cut across the run-off area. Magnussen went over the kerb.“The stewards were right to penalise him.
