Hakkinen: Magnussen "developing bad reputation"

Former F1-driver and current columnist Mika Hakkinen has written that Kevin Magnussen has to watch his behaviour as he's starting to develop a bad reputation, with the Swede being involved in multiple incidents already this season.

Magnussen, much like Max Verstappen, has always been an aggressive driver but this season has been reckless at times. Unlike Verstappen, however, Magnussen has been having a great season, scoring nineteen points already for Haas compared to his teammate Romain Grosjean who still has none.

K-Mag has had two incidents that were dangerous; last weekend in Barcelona with Charles Leclerc, and in Baku, where he almost put Gasly in the wall at 300 km/h.

After the incident, Gasly said that Magnussen was "the most dangerous driver on the grid".

"I have also known Kevin for some time, as I knew his father Jan, and it's good to see him producing some great results for Haas," Hakkinen said on his weekly column on Unibet.
