F1 teams will reportedly꧂ discuss a rule-change at Imola to bring in tougher penalties for drivers who deliberate♌ly cut the track.

Haas’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen drew criticism in Miami for his aggres🃏sive defensive tactics.

Magnussen was hit with three 10-second time penalties for leaving the track and gaining an advant🐓age by keeping Lewis Hamilt♊on behind him.

He also received a five-second time penalty for leaving the track🍨 again for no reason.

Magnussen later admitted his methods 𝓡were to bolster teammate Nico Hulkenberg’s hopes of scoring points.

The FIA wants to bring in harsher penalties to prevent 🍎F1 drivers 🌠repeating Magnussen’s antics, report.

A drive-through - forcing the driver to pit and give up his position within two ꩵlaps of his offence - is on the table.

The tougher penalty would be dished out when a driv💃er offends repeatedly, and stewards suspect 😼he is doing it intentionally.

It will be a topic of discussion between teams, stewards and the FIA at Friday’s team managers’ meeting at the F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Pr𓆉ix.

Karun Chandhok criticised Magnussen’s tactics in Miami: ꦰ“When you are running oওff the track and taking the other car with you, it’s not particularly sporting.

“You’ve got 🍬to play the game. But you’ve also got to be fair to the other competitors.”

Magnussen was also criticised his former boss Guenther Stei🏅ner: “It has to be fair play. You can be aggressive, but 🐻we’ve seen this game for the second time [Jeddah also].

“As a driver, you can’t be proud if you ruin someon🌠e else’s race.”

Martin Brundle’s assessment was: “He put up a supremely aggressive defence against Hamilton in the Sprint, sometimes ovꦕer the limit but nevertheless applaꦫuded even by Hamilton.

"But in the race Magnussen's crash with Sargeant was🤪 just silly and unnecessary.”
