The pair came together as Magnussen tried to put his Haas up the inside of Perez’s Red Bull heading up the hill on the opening lap. Perez was sent spearing into the barriers and collected Magnussen’s teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Nico Hulkenberg in the e🃏nsuing chaos, which🦋 resulted in the race being suspended. 

Perez and 🅺Magnussen pointed the finger at each other for the incident and the latter is convinced the Mexican was not completely in𒆙nocent.

“I don't see Checo as a dirty driver or anything,” Magnussen said ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. “But I was surprised that he didn'✨t leave ꧟me the room.

“Clearly, h🀅e was just pushing me to the wall to intimidate me and have me back out. But that's certai🎐nly not the way we should be racing.

“He c🌃an't argue that he didn't see me. He saw me. There's no way around it. He did see me. So yeah, that is the reason I kept it flat, because I trusted that he would leave me the space since he'd seen me.

“He had seen me, and I knew he ha🌄d seen me. It’s one thing if you're not sure he's se🤡en you, then I perceive the risk as being bigger.

“If I wasn't sure that he's seen me, I probably would have just backed off. But it was very clear to me that he ha🔜d seen me. So, I thought okay, he♏'s going to leave a car width. I trusted that he was going to do that. In hindsight, I shouldn't have trusted him.

“But that doesn't change the fact that he didn't leave a car width. Maybe with my experience, I should have known that certain drivers don't always leave a car width. There is always a💞 risk that they won’t.”

And having had the opportu🔥niওty to review the incident on replays, Magnussen stands by his original view.

“I've looked at it many times,” the Dane added. “It's always one thing right when it happens, but your view of what h❀appens often changes when you see it from the outside. But in this case, it didn't change so much.”
