Gasly Appeals for Reversal of Magnussen's Ban

Pierre Gasly has appealed to Formula 1 stewards to overturn Kevin Magnussen's one-race ban, which resulted from their minor collision during the Italian Grand Prix. Magnussen received a 10-second penalty and two penalty points for the incident, bringing his total to 12 and triggering an automatic ban. Gasly described the collision as 'nothing' and expressed surprise at the harshness of Magnussen's punishment, stating that he is willing to advocate for his fellow driver to the stewards. Magnussen himself expressed confusion over the penalty, citing a more damaging incident involving other drivers that received a lighter penalty. Additionally, Fernando Alonso voiced sympathy for Magnussen's situation, questioning the logic behind the penalty points he had accrued. The controversy highlights concerns over the consistency and fairness of penalty assessments in Formula 1.
