Magnussen believes F1 race direction went 'way over the top' in showing him a black-and-orange flag during the Singapore GP. 'It was on that endplate thing, which we've explained to the FIA it's tethered in. The FIA should know that.'
With the endplate section on Magnussen's car appearing to be flapping about, a few laps later the FIA issued him with a black-and-orange flag – which signifies that a driver has a mechanical issue and must return to the pits for repairs immediately.
"I didn't even notice I had that contact, and I couldn't feel anything in the car," explained Magnussen."The team told me that the damage was minor. And it was on that endplate thing, which we've explained to the FIA it's tethered in. "They just invented this or I don't know where they found this rule again, and now they are happy to apply it, and especially to us."
"We know how the front wing is built, that it cannot fly away. If we think it's dangerous, we call it in on our behalf. We don't need to be told, you know. I think we have got a lot more qualified people to say safe or not, than the FIA has got."Motorsport Images
