Pierre Gasly finished in a positive P6 at the Singapore GP. The Frenchman was caught in a battle against Kevin Magnussen and claims the Haas driver pushed him off the track on multiple instances. Gasly criticised the FIA for not penalising Magnussen and cites his previous penalties for his disappointment.
Gasly had incurred a 6-place grid penalty at the Spanish Grand Prix. The penalty was given for ‘impeding another driver on track’. Gasly claims that instance was ‘way less’ than that of Magnussen at the Singapore GP.
“I just asked if he can push someone off the race track when I’m going to pass him, I’m going to give him a little nudge and do the same. I’m not going to open the topic – it’s just, make it black and white”, said Gasly. He added, “I don’t fully understand the regulation. I read the regulations, I know the regulations, but then it doesn’t always translate to what happens on the track.”
