Martin Brundle joins increasing criticism of FIA race ban for Kevin Magnussen
List of voices criticising the decisio🅷n to ban Kevin Magnussen is g♋etting longer

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen’s ban for one F1 grand prix has attracted criticism.
The Haas driver will miss next week’๊s Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku after a misdemeanour 😼at Monza.
Magnussen is the first F1 driver since Rom💞ain Grosjean in ไ2012 to incur a race ban.
He was hit by the FIA with a 10-second time penalty an🎉d two penal♏ty points for causing contact with Alpine’s Pierre Gasly at the Italian Grand Prix.
Becausﷺe Magnussen was already on 10 penalty points, he has hit the threshold of 12 - which warrant🦩s a one-race ban.
“This seems harsh,” b🔯roadcaster Martin Brundle insisted.
“Points should🍨 only be applied to very se🅷rious driving misdemeanours, and otherwise the time penalty itself should suffice.”
Magnussen is the first F1 driver to receive a race ban since ൩the introduction of penalty points in 2014.
Gasly, invol💎ved in the incident at Monza with Ma🔯gnussen, also disagreed with the decision to ban him.
“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🌜,” Gasly reacted. “I'm a bit surprised.
“I hope somehow they ca𒁏n revert on that because that will would be definitely unfair.
“I'll see what I c๊an do. That will feel very unfair for the incident that it was.🐻”
Fernando Alonso also chimed in: “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.
“A couple of those points t𝐆hat he accumulated, I’m not sure…
“I don’t have the list here. But sometimes it’s just pit lane, white line, un💯safe releases, all these kind of things.
“I mean, this is part of racing.”
Alonso said aboཧut Magnussen’s incident at Monza: “This is a drive-through. This is a five-second penalty.
“I understand the racinꩲg penalties, but the safety penalties are a little bit harder to understand.”
Haas drive𓄧r Magnussen knows his F1 career is drawing to a c𒁃lose.
Haas have named Esteban Ocon and🍃 Ollie Bearman as their 2025 F1 driver line-up.
While current Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg will move t🐲o Sauber, Magnussen has nowhere to go.
The only two vacant seats for next year - at Sauber and RB - are༺ likely to be filled by other drivers.
It means that Magnussen’s likely final F1 season will include 𝐆the dubious hono﷽ur of a Baku race ban.
Haas haven’t yet named t🌠heir replacement for Magnussen in Baku, but Bearman is an obvious choice.
The British teenager deputised for Carlos Sainz, driving for Ferrari in Saudi Arabia, earlier th⭕is year which went a long way to earning him the full-time Haas race drive for 2025.
A second, unexpected run-out is🥂 likely now for Bearman before he joins permanently next season.
