Magnussen told to ‘stay at home’ for causing ‘unacceptable’ Miami sprint chaos
McLaren boss Andrea Stella has instructed Kevin Magnussen to ‘stay at home’ due to his controversial driving in the Miami Grand Prix sprint, where he received multiple time penalties. Despite finishing seventh with a well-executed strategy to help his teammate, Magnussen was unapologetic about his actions but acknowledged feeling ‘stupid’. Stella criticized Magnussen’s behavior, calling for drivers who intentionally damage competitors to reflect on their sportsmanship by spending time with family before returning. Lando Norris offered a different perspective, praising Magnussen’s strategic defense for his team-mate despite the penalties received. The stewards investigated Magnussen for unsportsmanlike conduct but ultimately took no further action.
