Magnussen not worried about being held up by Max: 'Didn't count anyway'

Max Verstappen may lose his pole for the Austrian Grand Prix for allegedly obstructing Kevin Magnussen during Q1. The pair had to come and explain this to the stewards, who must then decide whether the Dutchman deserves a penalty. Magnussen himself does not seem to be up for that.

Via his Haas team, Magnussen said to the media: "It’s all so tight at the moment. I had traffic with Verstappen at Turn 1 on the first lap of my final run, but that lap was deleted for track limits – it wouldn’t have counted anyway."

“Then on my second attempt, I had a downshift fault, it wouldn’t downshift, so it cost me a little bit of time at Turn 3 as I was in the wrong gear. When it’s this tight, in fact, it’s unbelievably tight – a little issue like that is very costly. Normally you can get away with something like this, but we were just on the wrong end of it today," the Dane told.
