Why Albon and Gasly were irritated by Magnussen's 'grey area' Dutch GP defence

Williams' Alex Albon calls for greater policing by Formula 1 stewards over Kevin Magnussen's lifting during corners

Alex Albon reckons a 'grey area' over braking in the middle of corners to hold up following cars during races will eventually cause a crash, in response to Kevin Magnussen's defence at the Dutch Grand Prix. Magnussen was running on a contra-strategy to the majority of the field to get track position on a long hard-tyre stint, and had attempted to keep a following pack of Pierre Gasly, Albon, and the two Aston Martins of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll behind him.

Furthermore, Magnussen lifts for Turn 11 far sooner than the equivalent braking point of Hulkenberg. Their throttle traces also differ in the T11-12 chicane, as Magnussen took the corner in second gear to back the pack up while Hulkenberg uses a small squirt of throttle - in third gear - to accelerate. The two also have a 35kph speed difference in Turn 13, and Magnussen subsequently lifts to just over half-throttle through the banked Turn 14.
