“It was a bit of a wasted weekend, so I hope we do better next time.” F1
Kevin Magnussen laments ‘a wasted weekend’ at ZandvoortKevin Magnussen has written off his disappointing Dutch Grand Prix as “a wasted weekend”.
The Haas driver was, of course, not referring to his physical condition at an event where many in the 105,000 crowd might have been nursing sore heads at the end of what was essentially a three-day party – complete with big-name DJs – at the Zandvoort seaside venue. The atmosphere was only a peripheral part of proceedings for Magnussen, who was strictly focused on the business of trying to earn World Championship points only to fail to achieve that target.
A Q1 exit meant Magnussen started the race nine places behind his team-mate Mick Schumacher, 17th compared to eighth, and his Sunday took a turn for the worse on only the second lap of the grand prix.as he returned to the circuit – a potentially damaging blow, but it transpired the VF-22 was fine to continue.
Nevertheless, he was on the back foot thereafter having dropped to the back of the field and in the end P15 was not too bad a finishing position – only two places behind“When you hit the wall in the race it’s not good, but it was my mistake,” said Magnussen, who has scored 22 points this season.“I tried my best to come back but I spent a long time trying to just get back up to the field. I managed to make up a few positions.Not the weekend we dreamed of.
