Among an important topic, Magnussen defended his style of racing as he felt that in midfield, the need to flex some elbows to score handy points. At the same time, he said, he enjoyed fights with Fernando Alonso, Antonio Felix da Costa and Dennis Lind.

Magnussen also recalled the famous door-break from 2019 British GP as he finished the chat talking about the memory with Sir Stirling Moss. Post the chat with Dane, Will Buxton had Kvyat on a different day, who spoke from his house in Monaco.
