F1 stewards make decision on Miami GP penalty after Lewis Hamilton hit wall in qualifying

Kevin Magnussen avoided a grid penalty for the Miami Grand Prix despite an incident with Lewis Hamilton in qualifying which saw the Brit hit the wall early in the session.

It occurred during Q1 when both of the drivers were on a slower lap. Traffic was expected to be an issue on track during the session and that proved to be the case, with several examples of drivers struggling to get out of the way of their competitors.

Hamilton was on his way to the pits when he came across Magnussen at the final corner. The Dane was creeping along the track as he prepared to start a flying lap, creating space on the track for himself to have a clean run.
