Haas driver Kevin Magnussen has hit out at the Formula One for his disqualification after his team's home Grand Prix in the United States, dubbing the sport 'Formula Fuelsaving' as he got disqualified for carrying too much fuel.

The Dane finished in ninth place for the American team but just like Esteban Ocon in eighth, got stripped from his place. Magnussen had filled up his car over the 105 kg limit. A big blow for Haas, especially as the other car of Romain Grosjean didn't finish either, with the Frenchman nailing Charles Leclerc in the first lap and ending his own race.
