Guenther Steiner suggested FIA chiefs have no idea how modern Formula 1 cars work as he launched an angry tirade about decisions that have gone against his Haas team this season.
At the Singapore Grand Prix, a black-and-orange flag was waved at Kevin Magnussen. It is one of the lesser-spotted flags used in F1, forcing a driver to pit so their team can sort out a problem on the car which is deemed to be endangering racers.
On this occasion, race control felt a loose front wing endplate, damaged in a first-lap collision with Max Verstappen, was a safety risk. Remarkably, it was the third time this season Magnussen has had a race ruined in such a way, and each time it was for a piece of carbon fibre hanging off the front wing of his VF-22.
