Because of unfair tactics
Formula 1 discusses new mega-penalties in Imola
Formula 1 starts its European tour this weekend with the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola - and is negotiating new mega-penalties. The reason: the unfair tactics at the last sprint race in Miami.
The Dane Kevin Magnussen drove so unfairly against record champion Lewis Hamilton that he received a total of four time penalties. Incredibly, he even left the race track just so that Hamilton could not overtake him. He also acted as the brakeman for team-mate Nico Hülkenberg in Saudi Arabia so that the latter could score points.
Now the FIA wants to react to this. Because several team bosses have apparently complained about the unfair tactics, the matter is on the agenda of the team meeting in Imola. It is conceivable that a regulation could be introduced whereby drivers would immediately receive a drive-through penalty if they deliberately leave the track to block an overtaking attempt.
"I don't like the rules"
Magnussen, of all people, would be in favor of this. He said quite openly on Thursday in Imola: "I don't like the current rules that allow me to use such tactics. I don't make the rules. It's not the way I would like to race."
