Kevin Magnussen has become a vocal critic of the FIA’s rule enforcement, particularly in the wake of penalties imposed on fellow driver Max Verstappen during th
e Austrian Grand Prix. This controversy highlights the ongoing tensions between safety and the competitive spirit of motorsports.
At the center of the debate is the clash between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, which prematurely ended the Briton's race. Verstappen received two penalty points on his license and a ten-second time penalty—a punishment that Magnussen finds excessive, especially considering Verstappen also suffered a puncture.
"It's frustrating that rules are interpreted differently all the time," he said. “Maybe they should make them a bit freer. In the end, Max got a penalty, which may have been justified according to the rules. But he had already been punished on his own with the puncture, so it didn't add anything at that point,” Magnussen argued.. He contrasts this with his experiences in American racing circuits like IndyCar. “I have driven IndyCar myself and also sports cars in America.
