During Saturday’s Sprint in Jeddah, the Dane brought back his defensive tactics, creating a headache for Lewis Hamilton while playing as part of the Haas team strategy. Despite gaining three penalty points and 35 seconds of time penalties, Magnussen admitted that his penalties were deserved, although he was not happy about having to resort to “stupid tactics.” McLaren’s Andrea Stella criticized Magnussen’s driving as “completely unacceptable” and called for a review of the points system for such behavior. Following a clash during the Miami GP, Magnussen received a 10-second time penalty and two additional penalty points, bringing his total to 10 on his FIA Super License. If he reaches 12 points within 12 months, he will have to sit out the next race, with Haas reserves Ollie Bearman and Pietro Fittipaldi ready to step in. Magnussen refrained from commenting on his latest penalty but expressed frustration with the situation. Overall, Magnussen’s future participation in races depends on his ability to avoid further penalties and violations, with the risk of a potential race ban looming if he receives two more points.
