There is so much narrative and spin in F1. If certain other drivers loved by the British media would have done what K Mag did, they would be cherished as hard drivers, racers of extraordinary talent, racing at the limit, "you have to go for the gap" crap, etc. But it is..K mag, driver for Haas ...so no. He is desperately fighting for a seat, hence the aggressive behaviour. It happens with all of them, every single driver in the grid.

Everyone dislikes Perez for doing absolutely nothing for the team - sportwise. Then here is Magnussen, who is literally giving up his own races for the benefit of his team, and people starting to hate him for it. If I were the team principle of a midfield team in a position where it is an open secret that your final team position will be decided in mere single points at the end, then there is no question that what KMag doing is just as important what Hulkenberg doing.
The minute I saw he who shall not be named in this video, I had a thought of “If he doesn’t use the phrase touchy subjects somewhere in this video, I shall be quite disappointed.” 7:47 no disappointment this time.
Honestly, I really enjoyed his defending, and don't really see any problem with it. Nothing was illegal, and it really did make for some good entertainment. I do love Kevin, just hope he can find some qualy form soon
His qualy form is ok,. he just had traffic in 5 of his qualifications exactly when it matters that destryed his laps. very unlucky. I think the rest of the season will give us much better qualifications from him
Unpopular Take: Checo was at fault in that incident, not Kmag. Checo squeezed him against the wall on what effectively was a straight. While Kmag could have backed out and avoided the incident, Checo was obligated to leave room when there was any overlap along a straight. Checo was checking his right mirror the whole time, so he knew Kevin was there.
THAT would be correct, when you look at the penalty KMag got in Saudi on lap 11, where Albon "leaves" his car so Kmag hits him if he goes for the optimum line for the entrance to the following corner, leaving Albon with "No room to race", exactly the same Checo does, leaving KMag "No room to race". Worst thing is you can see Checo looking in the right hand mirror, so he is fully aware of exactly where KMag is.
Leave room for what?! If you drew a straight line from where KMag was he was going to have to move left to not hit the wall. Is Perez just supposed to move offline and let people drive around him?
Sorry, kmag wasn't at fault neither in miami or monaco, the rules say that if your front wheel is aligned at least with the rear axle of the driver in front, said driver HAS to give space. The rules are stupid but fia seem even more for not changing it and giving a penalty (miami) which clearly wasn't, according to their own rules
I don't agree that Monaco was his fault. It's the first lap. It's not unseen at all that 2 cars are side by side on that 'straight'. Perez should have used his mirrors and give him space. Perez eliminated himself as well. Again..
To be fair I think K-Mag still has some currency in the bank for finalising Mazepin's removal from the sport. I reckon he was told this was going to be his last season and he's driving on pure banter.
Last year Kmag was a little nobody with a too slow car. This year he apparently is one of the few drivers that are still trying to race and overtake besides the stupid drs. I agree that not all of his moves were necessary but at least he has some balls to actually race aggressively. Something that a lot of drivers either forgot or dont know how to
This is all highlighting my issue fith formula 1. Any overtake at all with contact is considered dirty and penalty worthy, yet people love door to door action in any other form including indycar. Contact is a part of racing and the whole idea of, "it was X's corner" is complete BS. Were the moves against Perez and Seargant optimistic and risky, yes. Should they have been penalties? No.
Kevin is doing what Valtteri once did at Mercedes, or Kimi once did at Ferrari, or Jarno Trulli once did - it's the nature of the sport that the teams prioritise points over individual position. Kevin is a greta driver; it's just a shame that he's been stuck in the HAAS team...
Kmag drives like it's the glory days, where hard but fair racing was normal and acceptable. I really seriously hope Kmag stays, because ironically his shenanigans are making me a fan.
Something which really rubbed people the wrong way was how Kevin responded to some questions following his penalty bingo. Considering how Nico sometimes outperforms Magnussen and even gets to Q3, you have to question if K-Mag's going full send regardless of the risk is actually paying off. And that considering that all that style gave him was a costly repair bill for both Haas cars.
I feel like the people complaining about kmag are the same ones that say the racing is boring. You can't have it both ways, kmag actually racing or not doing anything and having a boring P4 practice session on sundays
Note: this was posted in jest and long before the video was uploaded. Will, albeit a "Brit tuber", has no time for Brit bias (well, maybe a wee bit ;) and I thoroughly enjoy his satirical approach.
Kmag is by far the most succesfull haas f1 driver of all times , yes he is a hard racer , so are lewis , so are alonso , so are kimmi , so are nico hulkenberg ....so what ....the problem is that FIA never punished a colored driver the same way ....probberly to avoid getting called out on racism ....somehow lewis have been cutting corners , ended lots of other drivers race , gaining an advantage several times , and not even got a 5 sec .....in germany 2017 he should have gone a extra round , but were somehow not punished , entering the pit after passing the pitt cone ...etc etc
Gotta paywall stuff to make money on this platform cuz YT ads don't pay anymore. What with adblock becoming more and more popular the more YT pushes against it.😂😂
Kevin's seat is secured. He has nothing to worry about, except for a race ban. That's actually why he's doing it. Because he's sure of a seat for '25. Komatsu clearly made a deal, and though he's reluctant, and does not like to drive like this, he knows, as said, it 'helps the team'. They have to take every chance they got, and somebody will get sacrificed. Yes, Hulk has been performing better than K-Mag, but at the same time, Hulk isn't LOYAL, and Hulk is off to Audi/Sauber. So Haas doesn't give two sh*ts about Hulk even though he is a bit faster, and more experienced, he will take his experience and speed away next year. SO, whatever driver is in front, will get defended by the one behind. In these situations, that has been Hulk, and that's simply because perhaps arguably, he is a bit faster - even though one also could say that this 'dog' of a car suits Hulk better than K-Mag somehow. With Hulkenberg out of the team in '25, Haas finds itself in the uncomfortable situation that they lose one of two experienced drivers they need to 'build' the team up to the future, especially with the new '26 rules quickly coming closer. Hence, they NEED a driver with experience, preferably also one that is quick. And let's not ignore the fact that K-Mag, IS actually a very, very fast driver. What alternatives do they have? Even if they were willing, they can't afford Bottas. They can't afford Sainz. There aren't any real experienced drivers left that are 'worth it', and especially they can 'afford', and having two rookies is not an option. Had Hulk NOT gotten a contract for Audi, then Kevin might have had to worry, as one would likely be sacrificed for either a rookie or a 'experienced rookie' with a wallet. Like, perhaps, Zhou could bring. That does not mean Kevin is not without a risk though, but, taking 'one for the team', definitely puts him into a position where he can keep his 'foot in the door'. As brutally as Steiner was kicked out, and though that wasn't something to be proud of, it's also not really the case that Steiner has 'achieved' something with the team, and Haas 'simply' pulled the plug. In theory, that can happen with Kevin still, but, Kevin HAS shown results. Even these actions that don't get much popularity, it did get the camera on Haas, it get attention on Haas, and that is exposure, thus SALES. And Haas, as a team, knows, that they can do what they did, and get away with it, because it's lets say a 'loophole' in the rules. It's not neccesarily 'sportive', but that's it. And some mathematician has done the calculations, and concluded, that risking one of the drivers a race ban, is 'worth it'. After all, IF K-mag DOES get a raceban, not unlikely to be fair, then one of their reserve/development drivers can have a go, and well, perhaps the very driver they are considering for next year if it's not one of the current grid, to put in the unoccupied seat next to Magnussen for '25. So long story short: Kevin has NOTHING to worry about for '25, he HAS his seat, it's a HAAS seat. he WILL be there. EASILY.
Still don’t get how Magnussen would be at fault in the Monaco crash. He put his wheel in, yes. Which means he’s right next to Checo, who has to leave space. Space wasn’t left and the crash happened.
a good part of his teammate outscoring him is that kevin will let his teammate push for points by not fighting them. just an outward facing occon. monaco was bad but if he just chills for 3 or so races without major incident, people will be fine with him again
Monaco wasn't his fault, he might aswell retire if he's going to back out with that much room spare on Sergios left, come to think of it maybe half the grid should retire
Dude what the hell are you on about. KMag is singlehandedly responsible for keeping F1 entertaining lately. I hope he keeps racking up penalty points and making us laugh at the madness of it. Bad take Will. Bad take.
Agreed. Alonso and KMag are two of my favorite drivers to watch due to their defensive stonewalling. I haven't seen anyone spreading hatred for the Great Wall of Denmark - it's been the opposite.
I think some incidents were a bit over the top, like turning Yuki into a Beyblade. But overall I think what Kmag does/did is hard racing going wrong and if it never would go wrong it wouldn't be hard racing. You can't ask for hard racing if you want safety margins to prevent things going wrong. If you look at MotoGP, there's plenty of "on the limit" stuff going over the limit at times, yet there's hardly any drama about it from the drivers. In contrast, think about the dumbassery Hamilton pulled at times i.E. on Albon or the attempted murder into copes. Staying with Mercedes, same could be said for all the times Bottas had to play wrecking ball. IMO there should be a bigger distinction between someone going side by side and ending up in a wall together and people just sending it into corners hoping to come out (and others not). To me, Hamilton's idiotic move into Turn 1 in the Miami sprint was worse than everything Kmag did this season.
K Mag is a very talented driver, especially relative to mazepin.. Also afaik he doesnt abuse women. The fact that you tried to make the correlation between the two is a bit upsetting. Seems more like a bait video.
As the one Haas fan, I never liked Magnussen. I always thought he was underperforming and was only propped up by Grosjean complete incompetency. This became even clear when he was paired with Hulkenburg. That being said, my opinion of him has improved this season, because despite not having the ability to earn points on merit he has shown to be a good team mate that puts the wellbeing of the team ahead of personal ego. Watching him park the bus across the race track was fun and entertaining and I imagine that would be in every race if there were no blue flags. Why are there blue flags again?
Yea, he may be a nice guy off track but he really doesn't have the skill to be on it, there are better younger drivers who could take his spot and actually be fighting for position without getting the rule book thrown at them.
Kmag has driven exactly as the rules encourage him to do. It’s not Kmag’s aggressive driving that needs sorting, it’s the stupidly inconsistent penalty scheme. Blimey, if, under the current rules, Kmag didn’t behave exactly as he is doing, then he would criticised for not doing his job. Sort the rules and penalties out and Kmag style driving is surprised or punished accordingly.
I agree with every word of this video. I get it, but if the FIA doesn't want drivers to do whatever is necessary to get their team (including their teammate) points, then they should't make it a team sport. Kevin wouldn't have near this many penalty points or crashes if every driver were out for himself. They have a LOT more of a chance getting much-needed cash into Haas in the Constructor's Championship than that for the drivers.
i love bringing up the french fight in all of this, because before we can really say he’s in the wrong and or in the right, we have to look back in time at the sports history. Perez was heavily criticized for his race craft used a few seasons back and he did it in no advantage of himself but the teams. Blocking, tagging, hitting, and using “dangerous” manuevers in Hamilton in order for Verstappen to pull larger leading gaps and to win the races he did to help the max win the championship. granted he never really took anyone out (that i can remember right now i’m spit balling here). We also imo should look back at a time where hamilton was taking out any redbull he came insight of 2 seasons ago(might be wrong on the year). I wasn’t personally a huge Albon fan myself but man did i feel bad watching him get taken out at least 3 times by Hamilton and he wasn’t even a championship contender. But no one wanted to talk about how that wasn’t fair. I think what is different more about this then the previous is he’s affected now almost every other team on the grid in multiple ways now so kmags basically pissed off every fan at least once this year in some way. I’m personally a ferrari fan myself so i’ve been screaming mostly at my own team this year then anyone else but i want to say i can defend kmag for his actions. the logan sergant one was kind of iffy i think that was a rookie move. but most of the other instances have been with good intentions overall and with purpose. attacking perez wasn’t bad driving, it was a desperately needed move on a track where overtake is only done when everyone’s tight (like lap 1) or in the pits. so i think it was just a racing incident on both ends, guy was clearly there before the wall came up and it’s not in any of these guys natures to lift, so some courtesy is needed on both ends. (im high af hopefully this makes sense and i don’t sound crazy)
I really do have a soft spot for the Haas F1 team. They are by far one of the most budget-constrained teams on the grid, and instead of whining about it and accepting defeat (cough cough Williams), they just do their best to fight tooth and nail for every point they can get their hands on. Because of this, they often have different strategies than teams with objectively better cars, and manage to punch way above their weight, even if it means pulling some questionable moves like making kmag the sacrificial penalty car. I could only imagine what they could do given the funds that RB and Ferrari have. In my opinion, they embody the spirit of racing more than any other F1 team on the grid.
I like Kmag he makes it interesting and I believe in Miami Logan was to blame for the crash. He just turned in on Kmag yes Logan was ahead but he was looking the wrong way 😂
"Racing" used to be a competition between drivers, with teams secondary. Now it's all about protecting the car. I can't wait until drivers are replaced by AI, then we can cheer on our favorite algorithms.

I don't agree that Monaco was his fault. It's the first lap. It's not unseen at all that 2 cars are side by side on that 'straight'. Perez should have used his mirrors and give him space. Perez eliminated himself as well. Again..
Calling Haas an “American outfit” is like calling F1 an “American sport”.
Technically the ownership is American, but you aren’t fooling anyone.
It has Haas’ attention more than his NASCAR team though
To be fair I think K-Mag still has some currency in the bank for finalising Mazepin's removal from the sport.
I reckon he was told this was going to be his last season and he's driving on pure banter.
Ah yes, the famous Danish Nuke. We love to see it
Feels like Magnussen and Ocon get hated for daring to race.... in a racing series (albiet aggressively sometimes but hey ho)
💯
F1 is usually exciting from the mid pack on back so thank God for the Kmags because without them a lot of viewers would fall asleep.
Last year Kmag was a little nobody with a too slow car. This year he apparently is one of the few drivers that are still trying to race and overtake besides the stupid drs. I agree that not all of his moves were necessary but at least he has some balls to actually race aggressively. Something that a lot of drivers either forgot or dont know how to
Hate K-Mag?? Nope, he's providing a show, he's battling outside the points and being the anti-Ocon (a team player)
really stupid that a driver being honest was fucking penalized by the FIA. Really a fucking clownshow.
This is all highlighting my issue fith formula 1. Any overtake at all with contact is considered dirty and penalty worthy, yet people love door to door action in any other form including indycar. Contact is a part of racing and the whole idea of, "it was X's corner" is complete BS. Were the moves against Perez and Seargant optimistic and risky, yes. Should they have been penalties? No.
Kevin is doing what Valtteri once did at Mercedes, or Kimi once did at Ferrari, or Jarno Trulli once did - it's the nature of the sport that the teams prioritise points over individual position. Kevin is a greta driver; it's just a shame that he's been stuck in the HAAS team...
Okay now this is over start on the video about checo's 2 year contract extension
KMag like Checo one of the best Teamplayers out there but weird crashes
Checo fan here: I like KMag he's always been fun to watch and his defenses but Monaco hurt me bad lol
I like Kevin more now than at the beginning of the season lmao seems like a real team player
Kmag drives like it's the glory days, where hard but fair racing was normal and acceptable. I really seriously hope Kmag stays, because ironically his shenanigans are making me a fan.
Something which really rubbed people the wrong way was how Kevin responded to some questions following his penalty bingo. Considering how Nico sometimes outperforms Magnussen and even gets to Q3, you have to question if K-Mag's going full send regardless of the risk is actually paying off. And that considering that all that style gave him was a costly repair bill for both Haas cars.
I feel like the people complaining about kmag are the same ones that say the racing is boring. You can't have it both ways, kmag actually racing or not doing anything and having a boring P4 practice session on sundays
I love how there are two reckless drivers and the only difference between them is that one is hated and the other is loved
I'd like to see Kevin stay at Haas next year. They already have an open seat for a rookie. Please don't swap Kevin for Ocon.
K-Mag has never done anything wrong.
at this point i bet you’re trying to make people mad.
He has. why else would he almost have a race ban?
They want to ban him because he doesn't do anything wrong.
Everybody has done something wrong
Expect more of this over the coming months... Brit tubers whipping their audience into a frenzy. Madnussen must go, we want Beer, man! 😂
Honestly I don’t mind who goes, I just want at least a couple of deserving (aka not Sargent) rookies in the field
Note: this was posted in jest and long before the video was uploaded. Will, albeit a "Brit tuber", has no time for Brit bias (well, maybe a wee bit ;) and I thoroughly enjoy his satirical approach.
Yeah lazy video not knowing how popular K-Mag is. I'm from UK and support K-Mag 2024. People need a baddy but he isn't one
As a haas fan i love kmag tho
Kmag is by far the most succesfull haas f1 driver of all times , yes he is a hard racer , so are lewis , so are alonso , so are kimmi , so are nico hulkenberg ....so what ....the problem is that FIA never punished a colored driver the same way ....probberly to avoid getting called out on racism ....somehow lewis have been cutting corners , ended lots of other drivers race , gaining an advantage several times , and not even got a 5 sec .....in germany 2017 he should have gone a extra round , but were somehow not punished , entering the pit after passing the pitt cone ...etc etc
Why do premires its so annoying
Gotta paywall stuff to make money on this platform cuz YT ads don't pay anymore. What with adblock becoming more and more popular the more YT pushes against it.😂😂

@@DieSuper-Influencer I see no problem either, just pointing out part of the reason why
Why complain for FREE content like a little cunt
Kevin's seat is secured. He has nothing to worry about, except for a race ban. That's actually why he's doing it. Because he's sure of a seat for '25. Komatsu clearly made a deal, and though he's reluctant, and does not like to drive like this, he knows, as said, it 'helps the team'. They have to take every chance they got, and somebody will get sacrificed.
Yes, Hulk has been performing better than K-Mag, but at the same time, Hulk isn't LOYAL, and Hulk is off to Audi/Sauber. So Haas doesn't give two sh*ts about Hulk even though he is a bit faster, and more experienced, he will take his experience and speed away next year. SO, whatever driver is in front, will get defended by the one behind. In these situations, that has been Hulk, and that's simply because perhaps arguably, he is a bit faster - even though one also could say that this 'dog' of a car suits Hulk better than K-Mag somehow.
With Hulkenberg out of the team in '25, Haas finds itself in the uncomfortable situation that they lose one of two experienced drivers they need to 'build' the team up to the future, especially with the new '26 rules quickly coming closer. Hence, they NEED a driver with experience, preferably also one that is quick. And let's not ignore the fact that K-Mag, IS actually a very, very fast driver.
What alternatives do they have? Even if they were willing, they can't afford Bottas. They can't afford Sainz. There aren't any real experienced drivers left that are 'worth it', and especially they can 'afford', and having two rookies is not an option. Had Hulk NOT gotten a contract for Audi, then Kevin might have had to worry, as one would likely be sacrificed for either a rookie or a 'experienced rookie' with a wallet. Like, perhaps, Zhou could bring.
That does not mean Kevin is not without a risk though, but, taking 'one for the team', definitely puts him into a position where he can keep his 'foot in the door'. As brutally as Steiner was kicked out, and though that wasn't something to be proud of, it's also not really the case that Steiner has 'achieved' something with the team, and Haas 'simply' pulled the plug. In theory, that can happen with Kevin still, but, Kevin HAS shown results. Even these actions that don't get much popularity, it did get the camera on Haas, it get attention on Haas, and that is exposure, thus SALES.
And Haas, as a team, knows, that they can do what they did, and get away with it, because it's lets say a 'loophole' in the rules. It's not neccesarily 'sportive', but that's it. And some mathematician has done the calculations, and concluded, that risking one of the drivers a race ban, is 'worth it'.
After all, IF K-mag DOES get a raceban, not unlikely to be fair, then one of their reserve/development drivers can have a go, and well, perhaps the very driver they are considering for next year if it's not one of the current grid, to put in the unoccupied seat next to Magnussen for '25.
So long story short:
Kevin has NOTHING to worry about for '25, he HAS his seat, it's a HAAS seat. he WILL be there. EASILY.
Magnussen is almost confirmed dropped, Haas' duo will be Ocon-Bearman
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 just wait
I love him. No worries
Still don’t get how Magnussen would be at fault in the Monaco crash. He put his wheel in, yes. Which means he’s right next to Checo, who has to leave space. Space wasn’t left and the crash happened.
Give Ocon the other Haas Seat...I can already see the flames them two will cause...and it's a big fire I see :)
a good part of his teammate outscoring him is that kevin will let his teammate push for points by not fighting them. just an outward facing occon. monaco was bad but if he just chills for 3 or so races without major incident, people will be fine with him again
Monaco wasn't his fault, he might aswell retire if he's going to back out with that much room spare on Sergios left, come to think of it maybe half the grid should retire
Dude what the hell are you on about. KMag is singlehandedly responsible for keeping F1 entertaining lately. I hope he keeps racking up penalty points and making us laugh at the madness of it.
Bad take Will. Bad take.
Agreed. Alonso and KMag are two of my favorite drivers to watch due to their defensive stonewalling. I haven't seen anyone spreading hatred for the Great Wall of Denmark - it's been the opposite.
I think some incidents were a bit over the top, like turning Yuki into a Beyblade. But overall I think what Kmag does/did is hard racing going wrong and if it never would go wrong it wouldn't be hard racing. You can't ask for hard racing if you want safety margins to prevent things going wrong.
If you look at MotoGP, there's plenty of "on the limit" stuff going over the limit at times, yet there's hardly any drama about it from the drivers.
In contrast, think about the dumbassery Hamilton pulled at times i.E. on Albon or the attempted murder into copes. Staying with Mercedes, same could be said for all the times Bottas had to play wrecking ball.
IMO there should be a bigger distinction between someone going side by side and ending up in a wall together and people just sending it into corners hoping to come out (and others not). To me, Hamilton's idiotic move into Turn 1 in the Miami sprint was worse than everything Kmag did this season.
Personally, I think it was the lack of penalty in Monaco.
If he was punished, then people would be quiet.
K Mag is a very talented driver, especially relative to mazepin.. Also afaik he doesnt abuse women. The fact that you tried to make the correlation between the two is a bit upsetting. Seems more like a bait video.
F1 has a real Viking. Hope he stays.
As the one Haas fan, I never liked Magnussen. I always thought he was underperforming and was only propped up by Grosjean complete incompetency. This became even clear when he was paired with Hulkenburg. That being said, my opinion of him has improved this season, because despite not having the ability to earn points on merit he has shown to be a good team mate that puts the wellbeing of the team ahead of personal ego. Watching him park the bus across the race track was fun and entertaining and I imagine that would be in every race if there were no blue flags. Why are there blue flags again?
Yea, he may be a nice guy off track but he really doesn't have the skill to be on it, there are better younger drivers who could take his spot and actually be fighting for position without getting the rule book thrown at them.
Hi Will, there is a glaring factual and grammatical error in this episode I'm shocked you missed. It's spelt "Mazespin"
That crash in Miami Sprint was more on HAM than STR
4:22 Nico looking like an aging West Hollywood clubber...
Say whatever you want, kevin is by far the best team driver on the grid
Kmag is good for the sport, great to see someone battle out there on the grid for points especially for a team like Haas
At least he is making something interesting happen on track.
Kmag and Ocon are single handly saving F1 2024 and this is how we thank them
Here to spread love towards Magnussen
KMag is my fav driver and f1 needs a driver who is willing to take risks, Its almost gone.
I like him :)
Kmag has driven exactly as the rules encourage him to do. It’s not Kmag’s aggressive driving that needs sorting, it’s the stupidly inconsistent penalty scheme. Blimey, if, under the current rules, Kmag didn’t behave exactly as he is doing, then he would criticised for not doing his job.
Sort the rules and penalties out and Kmag style driving is surprised or punished accordingly.
Kmag is a racer not afraid to race! Fun fact him and I are born on the exact same day time and year!
This guy makes the sport more entertaining, and in F1 you don't do that
I agree with every word of this video. I get it, but if the FIA doesn't want drivers to do whatever is necessary to get their team (including their teammate) points, then they should't make it a team sport. Kevin wouldn't have near this many penalty points or crashes if every driver were out for himself. They have a LOT more of a chance getting much-needed cash into Haas in the Constructor's Championship than that for the drivers.
Ogone is free next year, so they got replacement with similar skillset if they dont feel like going with Kmag
As i don't like how he drives, i don't get the hate. The window licker is the only one deserving any.
i love bringing up the french fight in all of this, because before we can really say he’s in the wrong and or in the right, we have to look back in time at the sports history. Perez was heavily criticized for his race craft used a few seasons back and he did it in no advantage of himself but the teams. Blocking, tagging, hitting, and using “dangerous” manuevers in Hamilton in order for Verstappen to pull larger leading gaps and to win the races he did to help the max win the championship. granted he never really took anyone out (that i can remember right now i’m spit balling here). We also imo should look back at a time where hamilton was taking out any redbull he came insight of 2 seasons ago(might be wrong on the year). I wasn’t personally a huge Albon fan myself but man did i feel bad watching him get taken out at least 3 times by Hamilton and he wasn’t even a championship contender. But no one wanted to talk about how that wasn’t fair. I think what is different more about this then the previous is he’s affected now almost every other team on the grid in multiple ways now so kmags basically pissed off every fan at least once this year in some way. I’m personally a ferrari fan myself so i’ve been screaming mostly at my own team this year then anyone else but i want to say i can defend kmag for his actions. the logan sergant one was kind of iffy i think that was a rookie move. but most of the other instances have been with good intentions overall and with purpose. attacking perez wasn’t bad driving, it was a desperately needed move on a track where overtake is only done when everyone’s tight (like lap 1) or in the pits. so i think it was just a racing incident on both ends, guy was clearly there before the wall came up and it’s not in any of these guys natures to lift, so some courtesy is needed on both ends. (im high af hopefully this makes sense and i don’t sound crazy)
There was a point when that Horndog thing wasn't boring?
Kmag has been great. He’s been driving like Kvyat except I like him.
I considder Kmag a gem. How boring would this season be without him?
Kmag been my favorite driver for years now. This season might be a bit tough to watch but at least he's giving you entertainment!
Kmag forever! Drives like he's playing iracing lol
Hulk in some part has KMag to thank for his nice new contract. If KMag fought him like the french do to each other, things would be different
I really do have a soft spot for the Haas F1 team. They are by far one of the most budget-constrained teams on the grid, and instead of whining about it and accepting defeat (cough cough Williams), they just do their best to fight tooth and nail for every point they can get their hands on. Because of this, they often have different strategies than teams with objectively better cars, and manage to punch way above their weight, even if it means pulling some questionable moves like making kmag the sacrificial penalty car. I could only imagine what they could do given the funds that RB and Ferrari have. In my opinion, they embody the spirit of racing more than any other F1 team on the grid.
dude is pulling clutch to get his team the most amount of points.
he's probably ben told he doesn't have a seat for 2025.
KMag races everyone... no easy passes and fights for every position. Sure he is very aggressive but I prefer that to boring drivers.
I like Kmag he makes it interesting and I believe in Miami Logan was to blame for the crash. He just turned in on Kmag yes Logan was ahead but he was looking the wrong way 😂
"Racing" used to be a competition between drivers, with teams secondary. Now it's all about protecting the car. I can't wait until drivers are replaced by AI, then we can cheer on our favorite algorithms.
What is the deterrent effect of penalty points if the FIA is unwilling to hold drivers accountable for bad behavior on the track?
