Alex Albon wants position swaps rather than time penalties to occur in Formula 1 when a driver makes an overtake
Kevin Magnussen received a 10-second penalty for contact with Albon’s Williams, along with 20 seconds added to his race time for passing Tsunoda outside track limits. Haas instructed Magnussen to slow down, allowing Hulkenberg to gain a pit-stop advantage while still holding off competitors. This strategy paid off as Magnussen’s teammate secured 10th place and the final point. Red Bull criticized the tactics as “unsportsmanlike” and raised concerns with the FIA. Albon acknowledged the fair initial penalty but criticized the tactics used by Haas to ensure points for Magnussen. He expressed concern that such strategies could become more common in the sport. Despite the challenges faced in Jeddah, Albon remains focused on improving Williams’ performance for the upcoming race in Australia.
