One F1 driver could be banned following an 'over the line' incident with Lewis Hamilton at the Miami GP.

Haas driver Kevin Magnussen was involved in a heated battle with seven times world champion Hamilton during the sprint race.

In the 19-lap race, which had several incidents, the pair battled for the final point, as Haas deployed tactics to ensure they secured it.

Magnussen, who was one place behind Nico Hulkenberg, picked up three different penalties for his antics - which totalled 30 seconds overall.

The penalties were a result of his efforts to stay in front of Hamilton, which led to him running off the track on multiple different occasions.

The two cars even made contact at one point and Magnussen picked up an additional five second penalty for track limit offences.

"All the penalties were well deserved - no doubt about it," Magnussen told Sky Sports F1. "But I had to play the game again.

"I was in a very good position behind Nico there. In the beginning of the race, I gained a lot of positions and was up in P8.


"I was protecting well from Lewis because I had the DRS from Nico and I had good pace.

"Then Nico cut the chicane and I lost the DRS. Nico could have given that back to give me the DRS to protect because then we would have easily been P7 and P8.

"Instead, I was really vulnerable to Lewis. Started fighting with him like crazy and I had to just create the gap like I did in Jeddah.

"I started using these stupid tactics which I don't like doing, but at the end of the day I did my job as a team player and Nico scored his points because I got that gap for him so Lewis and Tsunoda couldn't catch him.

"Not the way I like to go racing at all, but it was what I had to do today."

Hamilton has since responded to his interview, where he added: "I think that's pretty honest from him - and I think that's pretty cool.

"We had a good race. It was a little bit on the edge in some places but that's what I love. I love racing hard and, for me, I wasn't really frustrated or anything.

"That's what you do to work as a team, so bravo."

Magnussen currently has eight points on his license and is approaching the 12-point limit that results in one race suspension.
