Magnussen: “Unfortunately setting the fastest lap wasn’t worth anything for me"

Nothing seems to be going right at the moment for Haas, with Kevin Magnussen on for a points finish at the Singapore Grand Prix he got a plastic bag trapped in his front wing denying him some much-deserved points. Despite managing to secure the fastest lap the Dane admitted it means nothing to him given his fortunes.

“Unfortunately setting the fastest lap wasn’t worth anything for me. We were fighting in the top ten but got unlucky with the safety cars," Magnussen said.

Magnussen had been on course for a points finish, despite the numerous safety cars hindering their performance. However, the Haas driver dropped down the field dramatically after a plastic bag got caught in his front wing. Once he pitted and got it out his race was all but over.

"I really feel bad as it had been a good race and the whole team did such a good job, then we get it taken away from us in a cruel way," he concluded.
