Haas' Kevin Magnussen took aim at Kimi Raikkonen after Saturday's French GP qualifying, accusing the Ferrari driver of "erratic" behavior out on the race track.
The Dane was gearing up for his ultimate push in the closing minutes of the all-important session when he stumbled on the slow moving Ferrari which then picked up the pace as the pair raced down the main straight.
Raikkonen overtook Magnussen only to back off again, a move that threw off the Haas driver and ruined his final Q3 attempt.
When all was said and done, Magnussen had some strong words for his opponent, calling into question the Finn's actions.
"Yes I'm upset. Because what is he doing?," he said.
"He f---ed all his laps. He had fuel for I don't know how many laps, everyone else has fuel for one lap so to begin with I thought he would box because he f---ed his lap.
"Then he tries again immediately the lap after that, overtakes us and then backs off again, so surely he's going to box?
"But then he tries again. So it's three laps in a row that he tried to push, it makes no sense. There's no way to predict what he's going to do.
"Then he obviously overtakes me into Turn 1 and f---s my lap and then doesn't even complete his lap."
"I don't know if what he did was against the rules but it's impossible to predict but if he's stopping at Turn 14, then he's pushing, then he's stopping -- that's erratic driving in my mind," added Magnussen.
"[He passed] down the main straight, side by side. If you're that confused then try not to get in the way of everyone else."
Raikkonen's behavior warranted an investigation from the Stewards, but ultimately no further action was taken, a decision that amazed Magnussen who suggested that a fair amount leniency is always applied to F1's big names.
"Normally you get a penalty. Sometimes it seems like it's difficult to give out the penalties."
