The cause of Kevin Magnussen’s scary race-ending Mexico City GP shunt revealed

Magnussen suffered a heavy crash on Lap 34 of the race in Mexico, resulting in a brief red flag🐟 stoppage as marshalls were for💟ced to repair the barrier.
The Dane’s rear-suspension broke when coming up👍 to the sweeping bends in the middle sectio🐓n of the track.
Magnussen’s Haas ♊was completely destroyed🦂, capping off a dismal day for the team.
Steiner said after the race: “With Kevin, he had a suspension failureဣ, so we need to dig into why that happened, but it seems to be heat 🗹related – we need to check. It was a tough day again, but it’s not all negative.”

Reflecting on the incident, Magnussen revealed that🌠 he got “a knock on his hands” from the crash.
“I crashed after having a rear left suspension failure,” Magnussen explained. “It happened in a bad ꦡplace and I hit the wall, so I got a 𝔉knock on my hands and they hurt a little bit, but they’re fine.
“We have to investigate a bit more what exactly happened as i🅘t just gave up.
🦹“Before that, it was going okay, I was stuck in traffic for a long time and cooked my tyres, but I don’t know if whatever caused the failure had an impact for a while beforehand.”
