Guenther Steiner: No 'hugging session' needed for Kevin Magnussen, Nico Hulkenberg

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg have moved on from their "fun" spat at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Magnussen and Hulkenberg had an explosive interaction in the TV pen following the race in Budapest. Hulkenberg congratulated the Haas driver for being "the most unsporting driver on the grid" following an incident which had seen him pushed wide late in the race, only for Magnussen to reply "suck my balls, mate" live on TV, a moment which quickly went viral on social media.

Steiner criticised Hulkenberg after the incident, calling the German a bully, only to run into him at the airport the following morning -- which allowed the pair to reconcile.
