Magnussen to start Canadian GP from pitlane

After his crash in qualifying.

Kevin Magnussen will start the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday from the pitlane after he crashed out of qualifying at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Q2 on Saturday, after clipping the barrier and spinning to the opposiite side, causing major damage to his Haas.

During Q2, the likes of Romain Grosjean and Max Verstappen in particular were desperately racing to try and overcome the traffic to progress to Q3, but the session was prematurely ended when Magnussen crashed and spread debris over the track.

Haas boss Guenther Steiner has confirmed that the damage to the car was significant.

“We need to change the chassis,” Steiner confirmed.

“We will start from pit lane, obviously. We need to change the gearbox. There is no point to try to start somewhere in the back end with a C5 tyre. So we start from pit lane.

“The best way is to change the chassis. The quick and safest way is to do that and then go back and start from pit lane.”
