He then received the black and orange flag – shown to drivers with a mechanical issue who need to pit – forcing him to box on Lap 7, and dropping him to the back of the field. Magnussen made contact with Max Verstappen and the back of Lance Stroll’s car on the opening lap, sustaining damage to his front wing endplate. And although encouraged by his team’s performance, he was left frustrated by an early black and orange flag that took him out of contention.



It was a sixth consecutive point-less outing for Kevin Magnussen after the Dane finished 12th at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.
