'Not enough': Daniel Ricciardo rages over rival driver's warning

Daniel Ricciardo has called for Kevin Magnussen to be reprimanded after a running battle with the Haas driver in Hungary.

Ricciardo claimed Magnussen was not complying with the protocol on not moving in the braking area, and having initially resisted the urge to do so, the Aussie ultimately complained to his Renault team when Magnussen did it repeatedly.

The Haas pitwall received a warning from race director Michael Masi that was passed on to its driver.

“I let the first two go, I didn’t come on the radio,” Ricciardo told Motorsport.com.

“I don’t want to be the guy that literally comes on the radio straight away, I thought I’d let him be aggressive for a bit.

“But then there were a couple where he was moving. I was committing to the inside, and then he was braking and squeezing as much as he could, and then I was I’ve got to say something.

“For me it was definitely moving under braking, which is the one thing we don’t really appreciate.”

Asked if he had spoken to Magnussen after the race, Ricciardo said: “I was going to, and I was advised just to take a few deep breaths, and let it go.

“It’s alright, it’s racing, but for sure what we drivers agree on and speak with the stewards about, he definitely moved under braking more than twice. I heard he got a warning, but a warning is not enough.”

Ricciardo rages

Having held off from entering the pits until the 49th lap, Ricciardo made a late push to work his way up the field.

However, the 31-year-old found a stubborn opponent in Magnussen, who almost made contact with Ricciardo after an attempted pass on Turn 1.

"This c**t's taking the p**s, moving under braking," Ricciardo could be heard fuming on team radio.

Ricciardo flipped his Danish rival the bird on the cool-down lap and was still steaming about the incident when talking to reporters after the race.

"I had good pace on the softs but I got on the back of Magnussen and I wasn't that impressed with the moving under braking. I heard he got a warning, but he did it again. I was all locked up trying not to crash into him," Ricciardo said.

"After that we couldn't do much, the tyres were a bit hurt at the end. It was a bit frustrating, we had a bit more pace.

"I'll watch a replay and see what it is but at the time I was pretty frustrated with the move.

"Moving under braking is the one thing we frown upon. I thought it was extreme in a few cases."
