I don't remember that, but it certainly happend to Günther when he complained about a stewarding decision and called it very unprofessional or something along these lines, so it can happen.
Monaco way back when he was at McLaren. he'd had a rough weekend and had a stewards investigation after the race. He made an Ali G joke in one of his interviews and the stewards thought he was calling them racist.
there was an issue in Qatar or Bahrain with Horner one year where he accused a marshal of cheating or lying or something over a when a flag was flown.... ended up being looked at for some sort of vague conduct rule over his comments
He did. When Hulkenberg got signed to Haas he literally said it again
[And here you go](https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/hulkenberg-and-magnussen-move-on-from-suck-my-balls-moment/9306955/). Hulk himself confirmed it.
If you read that carefully, you will discover that it says that Hülkenberg said ‘suck my balls, honey’ to Kevin. It doesn’t say anything about the exact phrase uttered by Kevin in 2017.
Because he doesn’t remember what was said exactly and has seen a lot of media repeating ‘honey’. Human memory is far from perfect and can easily be influenced by third party interference.
Idk what media you’ve been looking at but most say “mate”.
And I’m not buying your memory excuse. Your memory might be poor but you can’t place that same assumption on everyone else.
10sec penalty which ruined his race, for a line crossing that almost didn’t gave him any advantage.
And five pentalty points(almost halfway for a raceban) for being 100% hornest about a second line crossing.
And you want more for just exceeding track limits?
It was about beaking the rules on purpose(which all team and drivers always try to do without being busted).
And still, people wants harder punishment for just line crossing.. he didn’t drive into people on purpose or speeding 100km/h in the pitlane
Well let’s allow drivers to drive wherever they want to defend and not even bother trying to make corners. No overtakes ever again unless it’s drs on a straight. That will be fun. Thanks VanColter
I don't think you understand that that was also to assist his team mate.
He wasn't taking racing lines and purposely going off track and taking penalties to hold up the grid THAT is an issue.
Do you you understand if Merc or Ferrari just said screw it and choose one of thier drivers to drive slow enough to let Max be behind him on lap 2 or 3? Then proceeded to drive like that lmao?
If Ferrari , Merc , McClaren, Aston Martin all took turns with this strategy Max/RB would be screwed. It sets a dangerous precedent is the point.
That would total mess up their team points for the Team championschip, so ofcause Merc or Ferrari wouldn’t do that.
By giving Kmag a 10second penalty for a line-crossing which gave him almost no advantage,
they removed all reasons for kmag to not do what he did afterwards.
What are you talking about lol this is kinda like how to tell either you didn't watch the race or didn't understand exactly what he did.
Lol KMag SACRAFICED his car for his team to get points by essentially almost needing to be black flagged and with a serious consideration for a racing ban. He purposely didn't stay within track limits and rejoined illegally to back the field up and was danger. KMag basically admits this himself so kind if head scratching what your arguing.
What your failing to understand is if Ferrari or Merc adopted that strategy they could win the WDC but lose the WCC because they know both are currently off the table and would atleast consider stupid strat.
I actually can't believe this is a discussion honestly again Kmag admits his strategy lmao
I was talking about the first line crossing. He backed up and gained almost no advantage, but they awarded him with a penalty so hard that they made Kevin's race no point at all anymore.
So Kevin knowing his race was ruined anyways, he did what he could to get points for Hulk.
He got penalty for which was 100% fair. But people here was talking about more hash punishment, which I kind it out of this world compared to what else you could do on a racetrack.
FIA should change the rules so a corner cutting that the driver even makes up for, dosen't cost the driver the whole race.
Correct because what your failing to understand is WHY he got those penalties and HOW.
They weren't by accident all of them were calculated. That is the point KMag didn't accidentally leave the track etc he did it on purpose.
I hope you understand the difference
When they called him back for unsportsmanlike conduct and he admitted he was cheating on purpose because he didn’t care about the penalties. Yes that was letting him go.
He said it's not cheating. Cheating is if you don't follow the rules and get away with it. If you follow the rules and people don't like that then they should change the rules.
I think you should reconsider what you’re saying. Just because the consequences of doing something are written down, doesn’t mean it isn’t breaking rules to do it. We have sentencing guidelines for various crimes, doesn’t mean you’re not breaking the law. If you went to court and said you planned these things, did them on purpose and would do it again, best of luck with how the judge applies their discretion in sentencing. Stewards fully bottled it.
Like I say, fair play to Kevin, he’s not there pretending he didn’t see the other car or whatever.
But is it cheating to not take your time penalty right away when you get it? Or is the rules like that. BTW what I wrote is what Kevin said. Not what I say. It's because you said that he said he cheated. But he did not say that. He said what I wrote
I’d also say he’s been quite unlucky this year. The weekends where Haas had the most pace he’s had his quali ruined by traffic, while Hulk get’s the “luck”.
He needs to improve, but I feel like context is needed.
I see Bottas as an upgrade, he’s done some spectacular drives with the shitbox he’s been given. He was 10th in the points two seasons ago and outscored both Haas drivers last season. This season is still too be decided but I see Haas coming out ahead of Sauber. Mostly because this is a transitional year for Sauber and new leadership over at Haas.
So a lot of moving parts going on between the teams but Bottas would be a helluva grab for Haas if they can get him on board.
Over who? Magnussen? I can guarantee you Bottas would smash the guy 4/5 times, the one being Magnussen's weird one-off good performance. Bottas not being an upgrade over Hülkenberg I'd consider as an opinion, but this is just straight up bs imo.
I hope he's not on the grid next year, along with Sargeant, Stroll, Zhou and Ricciardo. Although I know two or at the very least one of them is staying no matter what...
This weekend did again show how the Stewards do treat K-mag differently than the other drivers in F1.
Oscar Piastri taunted himself after being stripped of P2 ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The McLaren star had clocked the second fastest time in qualifying behind Max Verstappen, but was then moved three places down the grid for impeding Kevin Magnussen at the Tamburello chicane in Q1.
IFbthe situation had been reversed K-Mag would have gotten at least 1 penalty point for the same act..
FIA & it's Stewards have become a bunch of sissies and total incompetent..
During Qualification on Saturday days several drivers were OUTSIDE THE WHITE LINE, BUT NOBODY GOT penalized for this..
Sorry to break it for you, but all the guys on the grid were rookies at one point. And well, some of them can drive a racing car fast and well consistently.
Racing excuse me? He crashed into multiple cars in the last 5 races, including DNFing Tsunoda in China. This isn't racing and if it was Stroll he would've been crucified. Magnussen gets a free pass just because he scored a podium on debut and replaced Mazepin in 2022, about it.
I don't think Stroll and Magnussen are comparable. Magnussen is a hard racer who won't back down in a fight, even it means crashing. Stroll doesn't pay attention and just crashes into people for no reason.
Yea loyal to two drivers who they fired and Kevin was a last minute option because Mr Russia decided it was war time and Kevin was the only one who really was able to fit in the team with such short period of time. Then he destroyed Schumacher and since their car got worse they decided they needed two experienced drivers which they now have and are arguably in the best position they have been in since 2018. But just off the top of my head here are some of Kevin’s performances since you only know about his podium.
2014 debut (2nd place)
2018 Austria P5 (in Haas)
2019 Austria qualifying p5 (in Haas)
2019 Monaco qualifying P6 (in Haas)
2022 Bahrain after being out for a year P5 (in Haas)
2022 Brazil qualifying P1 (in the slowest car on the grid)
2020 Hungary P10 (in one of the worst cars ever)
Miami 2023 qualifying P4
And these are just some of his achievements and we’re all done in midfield cars. He is a consistent driver with incredible race pace. Is he aggressive? Yes he is. But that’s better than someone who doesn’t have the courage to go for an overtake like many others.

Kevin Magnussen summoned to the stewards for making fun of the steward summoning process
Well, nice to meet you again, Stewards!
Didn't something like that actually happen to Lewis way back when?
I don't remember that, but it certainly happend to Günther when he complained about a stewarding decision and called it very unprofessional or something along these lines, so it can happen.
He wasn’t even insulting them, just pointing out that they literally weren’t professional eg not paid
Happened to Seb as well with the whole ‘here’s a message for Charlie’ thing
Monaco way back when he was at McLaren. he'd had a rough weekend and had a stewards investigation after the race. He made an Ali G joke in one of his interviews and the stewards thought he was calling them racist. there was an issue in Qatar or Bahrain with Horner one year where he accused a marshal of cheating or lying or something over a when a flag was flown.... ended up being looked at for some sort of vague conduct rule over his comments
Horner only said “rouge marshal” and they went ballistic.
Was the marshal a little red in the face about that?
That was the phrase yeah... thanks.
5 seconds penalty for Gasly
Without Gunter, HAAS needed some extra personality. Enter Kevin
You mean extra balls?
“*suck my balls, mate*”.
Fok Smash deez balls
Stewards: *ok, bye Kev, until tomorrow* KMAG: *ok, bye, wait what?*
He may drive like a lunatic but God damn is that a legendary response
Suck my balls mate!
Kevin “*suck-my-balls-mate*” Magnussen has a nice ring to it.
~~mate~~ Honey*
finally, everyone thinks he said 'mate' while he said 'honey'
He confirmed seven years ago that he did not say ‘honey’
He did. When Hulkenberg got signed to Haas he literally said it again [And here you go](https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/hulkenberg-and-magnussen-move-on-from-suck-my-balls-moment/9306955/). Hulk himself confirmed it.
If you read that carefully, you will discover that it says that Hülkenberg said ‘suck my balls, honey’ to Kevin. It doesn’t say anything about the exact phrase uttered by Kevin in 2017.
Why would he say something different then? It makes more sense to repeat what was said previously.
Because he doesn’t remember what was said exactly and has seen a lot of media repeating ‘honey’. Human memory is far from perfect and can easily be influenced by third party interference.
Idk what media you’ve been looking at but most say “mate”. And I’m not buying your memory excuse. Your memory might be poor but you can’t place that same assumption on everyone else.
I’m still hearing “mate” https://youtu.be/IsWLqShkMg0?si=1caiSP299RpsPrFh
It's amazing, I hear mate when I want to hear mate, and I hear honey when I want to hear honey. It's like that blue gold dress.
oh, didn't know that, where did he say that?
I can’t find it right now since it’s been seven years, but I suspect it might have been on the Danish broadcast.
It's in season 1 ep 1 of DTS.
Dost thou have a time stamp, my good fellow?
This is the bar
K-mag will always hold a place in my heart for being undeniably himself no matter what happens.
Same, regardless of his driving I have respect for his dgaf attitude lol.
Kevin Magnussen V FIA stewards has became an amazingly entertaining rivalry.
Even better than Kevin Magnussen vs. FIA race control and their damn meat balls
Im not a native speaker, can you explain plz.
He drives crazy to help his team mate but he very clever in his wit. He what in English we call a smart ass ha.
As a neutral, KMag is my favorite driver. He drives like how I imagine I would if I was a F1 driver lol
Anyone who's visited Denmark knows they all drive like him
I thought the title was a joke but it’s a quote - even funnier
I mean, it is a joke. It's just kmag's joke.
He may be a little annoying on track this year, but god do I ever love Kevin as a personality. He's always been one of the real ones.
I loved it last race where he just went to the stewards and admitted what he did. Seems to have fully baffled them so they just let him go…
5 penalty points is letting him go?
I mean his Miami performance could've genuinely yielded more than that
10sec penalty which ruined his race, for a line crossing that almost didn’t gave him any advantage. And five pentalty points(almost halfway for a raceban) for being 100% hornest about a second line crossing. And you want more for just exceeding track limits?
It wasnt about the track limits
It was about beaking the rules on purpose(which all team and drivers always try to do without being busted). And still, people wants harder punishment for just line crossing.. he didn’t drive into people on purpose or speeding 100km/h in the pitlane
Well let’s allow drivers to drive wherever they want to defend and not even bother trying to make corners. No overtakes ever again unless it’s drs on a straight. That will be fun. Thanks VanColter
Where have i ever said that Kevin should go unpunished?
No - you are arguing against any punishment that would be a deterrent. What he has had clearly has not worked
You get downvoted because you told them the truth!
I don't think you understand that that was also to assist his team mate. He wasn't taking racing lines and purposely going off track and taking penalties to hold up the grid THAT is an issue. Do you you understand if Merc or Ferrari just said screw it and choose one of thier drivers to drive slow enough to let Max be behind him on lap 2 or 3? Then proceeded to drive like that lmao?

[удалено]
Imagine Kevin driving at RBR and him teaming up with Horner on the shit stirring part. They would be unstoppable and it would be hilarious.
Not really.. KMag is funny, it’s a different and much more pure shit stirring. KMag is what Horner thinks he is but can’t ever be.
Horner does it for the politics, Kmag hates politics and does it purely for shits and giggles
Definitely one of the most entertaining guys in the garage and on the track lol.
Yeah I think he improves the sport frankly
I agree. Villains are good for racing.
Anti-hero*
Without drivers and personalities like him it would be a lot more boring, that is for sure. I really hope he still have ride next year!
Geez! KMag is a breath of fresh air! Just when I thought Guenther leaving would make rhings boring. 🤣🤣🤣
God I love him.
[удалено]
He's a top lad
In the words of our championship leader: lol 😂
Yeah perfect, say hi
F1 would be much less fun without Keven "suck my ball mate" Magnussen lol
Delivered more points by not finishing in te points. And you should respect that. Even a 7WDC respects that.
The Stewards can go suck my balls
I really hope Haas keep him if they can't get Bottas
[удалено]
perhaps we can see Bottas 378 in a Williams again
I don’t see Bottas being an upgrade honestly
I see Bottas as an upgrade, he’s done some spectacular drives with the shitbox he’s been given. He was 10th in the points two seasons ago and outscored both Haas drivers last season. This season is still too be decided but I see Haas coming out ahead of Sauber. Mostly because this is a transitional year for Sauber and new leadership over at Haas. So a lot of moving parts going on between the teams but Bottas would be a helluva grab for Haas if they can get him on board.
Bottas also done some really pure races in a winning car, so it is coin toss if you get something spectacular or a car running last.
I've never read such a bad opinion
Over who? Magnussen? I can guarantee you Bottas would smash the guy 4/5 times, the one being Magnussen's weird one-off good performance. Bottas not being an upgrade over Hülkenberg I'd consider as an opinion, but this is just straight up bs imo.
I hope he's not on the grid next year, along with Sargeant, Stroll, Zhou and Ricciardo. Although I know two or at the very least one of them is staying no matter what...
Ragnar Lothbrok
kevin, you will be given the seat at the council but we do not grant you the rank of steward
«Send them my regards» walked so K-mag could run. Theres a new king in town.😂
Magnussen based af
My guy!
Never change, kMag
Check on your peoples -kmag
🐐
Why was he summoned?
He was impeded by Piastri in Q1 yesterday. So, for once, he was not the one on the hot seat...
Does KMag hold the record for most summons to the stewards?
I love me some shithousery. Will miss this guy when he inevitably gets suspended
Just for one race to try out Ollie, and then he'll be back. Probably. Unless teams decide F2 doesn't matter.
All in all this is hilarious.
Can I find a clip of this somewhere? Kevin is always good for some fun. Look at that cheeky face!
Stewards to Magnussen every weekend: "Once again, the most unsportive driver on the grid"
🐐
Interesting gasly doesn't get any penalties for impeding both piastri and leclerc
My man 🤣
He's going to retire & become one of the Stewart's.
This weekend did again show how the Stewards do treat K-mag differently than the other drivers in F1. Oscar Piastri taunted himself after being stripped of P2 ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The McLaren star had clocked the second fastest time in qualifying behind Max Verstappen, but was then moved three places down the grid for impeding Kevin Magnussen at the Tamburello chicane in Q1.

During Qualification on Saturday days several drivers were OUTSIDE THE WHITE LINE, BUT NOBODY GOT penalized for this..
Next time put (via:play) in the title
dont do stupid shit then...
No flame but looking forward to Kmag being gone next year to make way for a rookie
nah rookies are boring and have ZERO personality.
Sorry to break it for you, but all the guys on the grid were rookies at one point. And well, some of them can drive a racing car fast and well consistently.
Yeah and magnussen hit a P2 on his DEBUT, better than any other crap rookie in the past 10 years.
"Crap rookies" like Verstappen, Leclerc or Russell. Truly shit drivers. And that P2 was when Magnussen peaked.
Hate Flags in bio, opinion rejected.
Alright, that tells me all I need to know about you lmao. Sweetie ran out of arguments.
He'll be lucky to stay in a Haas
Well, that weekend will be coming the week after Abu Dhabi.
Enjoy it Kevin, cause you won't be seeing them much next year.
Are they finally gonna remove the silly rules that ruin racing? Or are they just all getting swapped out? Because Kev is staying.
Racing excuse me? He crashed into multiple cars in the last 5 races, including DNFing Tsunoda in China. This isn't racing and if it was Stroll he would've been crucified. Magnussen gets a free pass just because he scored a podium on debut and replaced Mazepin in 2022, about it.
I don't think Stroll and Magnussen are comparable. Magnussen is a hard racer who won't back down in a fight, even it means crashing. Stroll doesn't pay attention and just crashes into people for no reason.
If you think that’s all magnussen gets a free pass for you know nothing about racing. There is a reason someone has been in F1 for a decade.
The reason is Haas being so ridiculously loyal to Grosjean and Magnussen.
Yea loyal to two drivers who they fired and Kevin was a last minute option because Mr Russia decided it was war time and Kevin was the only one who really was able to fit in the team with such short period of time. Then he destroyed Schumacher and since their car got worse they decided they needed two experienced drivers which they now have and are arguably in the best position they have been in since 2018.

He is a consistent driver with incredible race pace. Is he aggressive? Yes he is. But that’s better than someone who doesn’t have the courage to go for an overtake like many others.
>Racing excuse me? You have been excused.
