McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella lambasted Kevin Manussen’s defensive driving during the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Sprint and said
Magnussen found himself in a tough situation during the Sprint race, without DRS after losing it to his teammate due to a chicane cut. He had to defend aggressively to help Hulkenberg score points. Despite his efforts, Magnussen received multiple penalties due to his defensive tactics. McLaren’s Team Principal, Stella, criticized the penalty system, suggesting that penalties should be more severe for repeated offenses. Stella believes that intentional actions that harm competitors should be addressed promptly by the FIA. He hopes that the governing body will review the regulations to ensure fair competition in Formula 1. Stella emphasized the importance of sportsmanship and fair play in racing, calling for stricter measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
