Sauber boss Vasseur labels Magnussen as 'f***ing dangerous'

Maybe he judged there was one frame according to him? I dont have the same footage as he do, so for all we know he could be right based on his footage. BTW: care for buying a tinfoil hat?

"so for all we know he could be right based on his footage"

Your statement is comical. Go educate yourself before writing a comment. The FIA has the original footage. It is not a 2 fps slide show.

And "BTW" - your childish "tinfoil hat" comments are embarrassing. It tells me everything about you what I need to know.

And your reply tell me just as much, my dear. :)

IMO his aggressiveness on track makes him a real good old school racer worth watching. And that's not ONLY because I am danish. :)

I dont have such prejudice. Im a Swede, yet Im not an Ericsson fan. :) I dont mind some degree of aggressiveness, dont get me wrong, I like seeing Senna swoosh over the track, but IMO, KMag goes beyond that. He could be very good, yet the raw amount of incidents limit him, and I'd probably enjoy him way more if he were borderline aggressive than just straight up. Then again, Im a fan of those boring gentlemen drivers like Button, so its probably down to taste. :)

He is not going anywhere beyond Haas, as long as he drives like a Maldonado.

I call BS on Magnussen being "real good old school." There are plenty of drivers who are hard racers, but not reckless. Magnussen is involved in a disproportionate amount of incidents that usually harm not only his competition but himself. No... he's more Maldonado than "real good old school." I know what people are trying to say by that, but Magnussen isn't it. I couldn't agree more with the statement that Magnussen is perpetually "almost great" because of his stupid antics.

There is hard racing and there is dirty driving. Magnussen is not a warrior, he is a driver who uses dirty tactics. If he was a MMA fighter, he would probably poke other rivals with his finger in the eye. Would this make him an even bigger warrior? No, he would be called a dirty fighter. Other fighters would disrespect him.

You want to see a warrior, look at Sirotkin's drive two races ago. Defending hard but fair with a very slow and broken car. Of course he got a penalty because he didn't made the slow corner and pushed Hartley wide. Very dangerous!!! Instant penalty.

F1 is supposed to be a sport. Everyone wants to see exciting, hard but FAIR racing.

@F1_is_dead
I totally agree with you. :)

I must agree that, he is a lively personality who is more suitable for TV programs like "Bachelor" , "Big boss". But, not necessarily for F1.

Yep - entirely agree - I don't think he is crazy, if he was he'd have been picking up a load of points on the super licence, I don't think he has that many.

In response to F1-Is-Dead - I disagree, this is the pinnacle of motorsport, it is no place for whingers and push-overs - don't whine, get off your arse and fight - the better man will win. F1 is becoming far too anodyne, to sterilised - the sport needs the extremes. I don't agree he is particularly dirty, he is not unfair - he is on the limit. Let the F1 stewards judge - for the rest of us it's all about watching the spectacle. Forza Mag.

BLADE - there is nothing more boring, than drivers cruising and letting everyone pass. I totally agree with it, but it has to happen within the "rules". Not the strange FIA rules, but the "ethical racing rules". It's all about skill and fairness. It is possible to combine both and deliver excellent racing.

As for Magnussen - I don't like his maneuvers, but I like his (off track) personality. He speaks his mind which is not common these days. I'm also happy for him, if he gets good results. I only have a problem, when he pulls off one of his moves... For me it's a big minus.

I don,t recall many, most of this stuff is about defensive racing. Not many crashed involved, actually.
Vasseur: "He [Magnussen] is involved in all the big crashes throughout the season, if you have a look." That's simply b....sh.t

Penalty Points chart for 2018
Hahaha good point Lotus4 :-)
Problem is just that people who believe the media BS that Magnussen is hated by all other drivers because he is sooo dangerous - are not able to interpret such a list!
Facts dont mean a thing if you allready have made up your mind:-)

Just to introduce some more entertaining material into this selfduplicating pro/against Kevin Magnussen monologues then check this link to Kevins father Jan Magnussen who are made of the same no-BS material as Kevin.
Its a video of one of the most epic racing battles on Laguna Seca in GT races.
I can say that because some of my american friends in the NR2003 FSB league living a few miles from Laguna Seca praised the older Magnussen as exactly a no-BS driver.
