Nico Hulkenberg has waved off team-mate Kevin Magnussen’s claims of racking up time penalties in Miami to help Haas.
Nico Hulkenberg disagrees with Kevin Magnussen’s claim that he was playing for the team by collecting penalties during the Miami Grand Prix sprint. Magnussen’s aggressive defense tactics allowed Hulkenberg to maintain his lead and secure points, but Hulkenberg believes Magnussen was more focused on his own personal gains. Magnussen has received six of his 10 FIA penalty points this season in defense of Hulkenberg, raising concerns about a potential race ban if he reaches 12 within a year.
