Two-time F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso expressed sympathy for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen after the Haas driver was handed a race ban fo꧃r 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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly at Turn 4.

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

Gasly, who was involved in the inc🐠ident with Magnussen, admitted he was “surpꦺrised” 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 really 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 for the incident that it was.”

Alonso is the latest driver tꩵo back M🦹agnussen and questioned how the FIA distributes penalty points.

He said af♋ter the race on Sunday: “100%. Because, I mean, penalty points, as we’ve discussed many times, should be for dangerous driving, 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 meꦓan, this is part of racing.

“This is a drive-through. This is a five-ﷺsecond penalty. I understand the racing penalties, but the safety penalties are a little bit harder🦂 to understand.”

Haas have yet to announce Magnussen’s replacement, with Oliver Bea🌳rman the favourite to💜 replace him for Baku.

Bearman will drive for the team alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon in 2025.
