Kevin Magnussen has been fined 7,500 euros for an infraction during the first free practice for the Italian Grand Prix. The penalty was imposed because Magnussen obstructed Carlos Sainz’s car at turn 7. This situation does not bode well for Magnussen’s career, given the existing criticism of his driving style.
Stewards’ Decision
The stewards investigated the incident and concluded that Magnussen and his team did not give a timely warning to the rapidly approaching Sainz. Despite the communication error and obstruction, the situation was not deemed dangerous. The fine was reduced compared to previous instances because the circuit conditions, such as layout and visibility, contributed to the problems.
