Leclerc FUMES with Magnussen after near-miss

Kevin Magnussen was summoned to the stewards after almost causing a huge crash with Charles Leclerc in the first practice session ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. Leclerc had to swerve the slowing Haas on the pit straight in Barcelona, narrowly avoiding a crash at 200 mph. "Magnussen needs to understand he's not alone on track, honestly," Leclerc said over team radio. "I mean he's on a slow lap and he stays on the line. Every time it's him, every time." Magnussen was also centre of controversy in Baku last time out, almost putting Pierre Gasly into the wall at similar high speeds, having said pre-race he was prepared to die while racing. Magnussen clarified his comments, and has apologised to Gasly twice since that incident.
