Hans F1 driver Kevin Magnussen makes a comeback to the starting grid in Singapore after serving a one-race ban at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. He had accumulated a total of 12 penalty points this season, which ultimately translated to a race ban.
Kevin Magnussen‘s performances have been a fairly controversial topic throughout the campaign. He has been a devoted team player on some occasions while sometimes carelessly making mistakes that have caused major crashes.
Magnussen has thereafter joked upon making a fresh return with no penalty points on his tally at the Singapore GP. The Danish driver is currently on contract with Haas till the end of 2024.
You get punished and then you come back and you're like, 'I'm ready to f*ck sh*t up now. It's funny how that works [the tally resetting to zero], but in a way, it hasn't really affected me with those points. It was annoying to have the knowledge that the next time anything happens, there's a race ban. So it's nice to know that's not a factor anymore.Kevin Magnussen via RacingNews365
The 31-year-old is relieved to start afresh and race without any concerns following the removal of his penalties after the ban. He will now try his best to make the most out of his last races for Haas in 2024.
Kevin Magnussen talks of the FIA’s unfairness in handing out penalties
The FIA has implemented stricter regulations and rules over the years to ensure the safety of motorsport. Kevin Magnussen has, however, deemed the FIA’s rulings as unfair as well as unnecessary on some occasions as well.
It feels bad when the sport you love so much changes in a way you don’t appreciate. I think I’m certainly one that, I like hard racing, and I think that’s a big part of the beauty of motorsport, is the battles. At the moment, it feels like they’re punishing ridiculous things. I’d like to see, personally as a Formula 1 fan, I’d like to see the sport open up again and allowing the great racing that can be seen on track.Kevin Magnussen said (via motorsportweek)
Magnussen has claimed that the current rules and approaches have greatly hindered the hard and fast racing nature of Formula 1. He wishes for leniency in the FIA’s judgment while allowing the sport to open up in terms of its competitiveness from here on.
The upcoming Singapore Grand Prix is one of the most compact and competitive street circuits on the F1 calendar. The top teams will therefore fight for victory around Marina Bay and an action-packed weekend awaits fans across the world.
