RB Formula 1 team racing director Alan Permane wants to talk to the FIA after accusing Kevin Magnussen of “unsportsmanlike behaviour” when passing Yuki Tsunoda in the Saudi Arabian GP.
Magnussen was handed a 10-second penalty in the early laps after contact with Alex Albon, effectively ruining his own race. However Haas was then able to use him to slow down rivals while team-mate Nico Hulkenberg – one of only four drivers who didn’t stop under the safety car – opened up a pitstop window that ultimately allowed him to secure 10th place. What riled RB was not just the blocking tactics but the fact that having landed his first penalty Magnussen had nothing to lose.
' Tsunoda admitted that he was annoyed with himself for allowing Magnussen to pass. 'It was pretty frustrating, probably my mistake was I let Kevin by,” he said when asked about his race by Motorsport.com. “But at the same time he overtook me four wheels outside. “Okay, he got a 20-second penalty, but he was cruising around. So that felt a bit unfair, but at the same time truth is I also let him go. So that was my mistake.
