Kevin Magnussen doubly penalized in Saudi Arabia
The Haas driver stood out in Jeddah. But in the wrong way. Kevin Magnussen was penalized twice for overtaking an opponent outside the track limits and causing an accident.
He gave the stewards some work. In a few minutes, Kevin Magnussen received a 20-second penalty. The first ten for causing a collision with Alex Albon. As the Thai driver was trying to overtake the Haas, the latter squeezed the Williams against the wall until contact was made. This could have led to the retirement of both cars.
For this maneuver, the Dane received a ten-second penalty and was also sanctioned with three points on his Super License.
A few laps later, that same Kevin Magnussen overtook Yuki Tsunoda off the track. He was once again penalized with a ten-second penalty. This is a stricter penalty than in previous years, as the drivers felt that five seconds were not enough.
With his 20-second penalty, the Dane finished in 15th place in this Grand Prix.
