During the truncated Sprint race in Miami, the stewards penalized Magnussen with 35 seconds for “unsportsmanlike” behavior while racing Lewis Hamilton. Magnussen admitted that the penalties were deserved, as he used aggressive tactics to protect his Haas teammate Hulkenberg’s position. In the grand prix, Magnussen received another penalty for colliding with Sargeant, accumulating 10 penalty points and nearing a potential race ban. Haas Team Principal Steiner criticized Magnussen’s driving, emphasizing the importance of fair play in racing. McLaren’s Stella suggested that Magnussen was lucky not to be banned for his controversial moves. The stewards in Miami cleared Magnussen of unsportsmanlike conduct but recommended stricter penalties for repeat offenders, such as drive-through penalties for second infractions within the same race. Steiner supported this suggestion, proposing that timely penalties like drive-throughs could prevent drivers from causing further harm in races.
