Magnussen punished

Kevin Magnussen was given a 10-second penalty after the race when commissioners reviewed contact between him and his teammate, Jolyon Palmer, at Sunday’s race in Barcelona. The incident happened in the thirteenth turn in the last lap, when Magnussen had relatively unused soft tires due to the three-stop strategy in the pits, while Pamer’s strategy was with only two stops. The drivers fought for thirteenth place at the end of the race. According to the commissioners, the blame was on the side of Magnussen, who dropped the city according to the table with a mark-up and thus ranked in a penny place for Felipe Nasr in Sauber. Statement by the Commissioners: "The 20 (Magnussen) was on a new set of soft tires, the 30 (Palmer) was on an old set of hard tires. As ...

Raikkonen helped Nasr’s career

formula 1

Felipe Nasr has revealed that Kimi Raikkonen helped him fund his path to Formula 1.
