Two-time F1 world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso expressed sympathy for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen after the Haas drivꦡer was handed a race ban for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Magnussen received a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points on his licence following an incident with Alpine’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly at Turn 4.

This is the first time since the introductioജn of penalty points in 2014 that a driver has been handed a one-race suspension.

Gasly, who was involved i🥂n the incident💧 with Magnussen, admitted he was “surprised” by the verdict.

“Someone told me he got a 10 seconds penalty. I'm a bit surprised for that because he tried, but it was a bit of wheel to wheel and in the end I reall✃y didn't lose any time. I'm a bit surprised,” he said.

“I hope somehow they can revert on that because that will would be definitely unfair. I♊'ll be happy to do- I'll see what I can do. That will feel very unfair ꦜfor the incident that it was.”

Alonso is the lates🉐t driver to back Magnussen and questioned how the FIA distributes penalty points.

He said after the race on Sunday: “100%. Because, I mean, penalty points, as we’ve discusse🎃d many times, should be for dangerous driving,𝔉 something that is a danger for the sport and for the others.

“And I think a couple of those points that he accumulated, I’m not sure. I don’t have the list here. But sometimes it’s just pit lane, white line, unsafe releases, all these kind of things. I mean, this is part 🤪of racing.

“This is a drive-through. This is a five-second penalty. I understand the racing penalties, but the safety penalties are a li🧸ttle bit harder to understand.”

Haas havꦐe yet to announce Magnussen’s replacemen🧸t, with Oliver Bearman the favourite to replace him for Baku.

Bearman will drive for the team alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon in 2025.
