Kevin Magnussen’s boss has defended the under-fire Danish driver.
In Hungary, Haas driver Magnussen famously told Nico Hulkenberg to “suck my b-lls”, after the German called him “unsporting” following an on-track clash.
And Fernando Alonso agreed after Sunday’s Malaysian grand prix: “Hulkenberg was right.”
Alonso called Magnussen an “idiot” after their wheel-to-wheel clash at Sepang.
“More or less the drivers agree. It’s 19-1 (against Magnussen),” the McLaren-Honda driver added.
But Magnussen’s Haas team boss Gunther Steiner has hit back, defending his driver on the basis that fans want to see a hard wheel-to-wheel battle.
