Guenther Steiner: Kevin Magnussen's penalty was "completely inappropriate"

Guenther Steiner believes that Kevin Magnussen's penalty was "completely inappropriate" and that the team deserved more points at the Russian Grand Prix. The Haas driver was given a five-second penalty after it was deemed that he didn't join the track correctly after running wide. 

"Kevin (Magnussen), at the end, lost a position, then he was given a five-second penalty – which I think was completely inappropriate. Anyway, we got two points for ninth place, that’s better than nothing. Kevin fought very strongly at the end and the whole team worked hard for these points.”

“Unfortunately, Romain (Grosjean) was caught up in a crash on the first lap which ended his day, but obviously no penalties were given there, it’s all good," Steiner said after the race.

Steiner will hope that his team can get more points next time out in Suzuka.
