Magnussen was forced to retire during the latter part of Sunday’s race after 🗹brushing the barrier on the exit of Turn 2🐼.

Will Street - an F1 fan ♓attending Albert Park - was standing on the hill behind the fencing when the incident occurred.

He confirmed to local radio station 3AW that🐻 some debris from Magnussen’s car cut his arm.

“It slapped me in the arm and I was just standing there bleeding,” he sai﷽d. “My arm was covering where my neck would’ve been, but if that had hi♔t my fiancee, it would’ve got her right in the head.

“I realised how big it was and how heavy it was. Part of𝄹 it was shredded and really sharp, if it hit me in a different angle, it could’ve been horrendous.”

CEO of the Australian GP, A♏ndrew Westacott, described the incident as a “freak one-off”.

“We actually coincidentally had one of our engineering staff there who saw it, and anecdotally it would appear that debris carbon fibre from the wheel hub has shot 20 metres or so in the air, shot up, landed down and lacerated a gentlem𝔍an’s arm,” he added

“Our people were aware of the incident. It looks as if out was a 🙈freak one-off, because you can’t necessarily ha🦩ve these debris fences going 20 metres in the air.

“The debris fences are consistent in height around the world. We’re compliant in our FIAﷺ regulations, but li🍨ke everything in motorsport, you do debriefs at the end of the event and see what you can do to improve.

“I hope the guy is okay. It’s a reminder that safe is🌼 paramount when it comes to F1.”

Separate from this incident, organis𝕴ers of the Australian GP were summoned to the stewards after the rac𓃲e.

This was because of concerns over fans being able to access🐬 the track at the end of the race when cars were still running.
