FIA announce penalty verdict for F1 star after Abu Dhabi Grand Prix investigation

The FIA have announced a penalty verdict for Formula 1 star Kevin Magnussen after he was investigated for a pitlane incident just moments before the start of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The Dane was noted for a practice start in the pitlane, witnessed by the RB of Liam Lawson.

If Magnussen was to be penalised for the incident, it would have come as a major blow to the driver during his final race weekend in F1, with the Haas star unable to obtain a drive for 2025.

The stewards, however, have now cleared Magnussen of any wrongdoing, stating: "Car 20 pulled away from the pit exit light to start the reconnaissance laps after the pit exit light went green.

"Whilst the driver did rev the engine for a fraction of a second before pulling away, the Stewards do not consider this to be a practice start."
