MONZA, Italy -- Kevin Magnussen has accused Fernando Alonso of disrespect, saying he would have rather hanged himself than let the Spaniard pull off his controversial move in qualifying at the Italian Grand Prix.
Magnussen and Alonso were involved in a bizarre incident at the end of Q2. Having been slow on his warm-up lap, Alonso had been passed by Magnussen on the run down to the final corner, Parabolica.
Instead of slowing down himself to create a gap for a lap of his own, Alonso immediately chased Magnussen down the long run to Turn 1, pulled up alongside him and tried to pass the Danish driver around the outside.
