"I can't wait for him to retire" - Magnussen FURIOUS with Alonso!

Kevin Magnussen has sensationally hit out at Fernando Alonso following the pairs strange incident during qualifying which ended up knocking both drivers out of the session. Magnussen pulled no punches when talking to the media after the stewards ruled no further action for the incident.

“Fernando was intentionally trying to be close in the exit of Parabolica,” Magnussen told the media after the decision had been made public.

Alonso had received such a tow from Magnussen that he made a move going into turn one on the Dane, forcing the Haas driver defensive which ultimately ruined both of their final qualifying laps.

“Even on the entry of Parabolica, he was intentionally trying to be close in order to have a perfect slipstream and overtake into Turn 1. It’s just disrespectful.

“We were kind of six or eight cars in a bit of a group, and at the exit of Ascari, Fernando was warming his brakes I think, not going fast. I’m going fast so I just cruised past him. But then for some reason he tries to accelerate and get close to me instead of creating a gap like everyone else is doing.

“Obviously he got a perfect slipstream and thought he could overtake into Turn 1, but I’d rather hang myself.”

Seemingly furious that the Spaniard escaped without punishment for the incident, the Haas driver continued on his tirade adding that he did not rate Alonso as highly as some.

“He thought he could have the perfect slipstream and overtake me and then gain,” he added.

“I’m not going to let him past me and sacrifice my own lap. No way. He thinks he’s God, but no way.

“He talks about his laps being divine and what not, he literally thinks he’s a God. It’s quite amusing.”

“He came to me after qualifying and laughed to my face. Just outright disrespectful.

“I can’t wait for him to retire.”
