Kevin Magnussen was more blunt – with the Dane the initial catalyst for the crash after he tried to squeeze past Perez after the first corner. The stewards saw it as a racing incident, which at least meant Magnussen didn’t pick up any penalty points and get a race ban, but that was small consolation all things considered.
“It’s frustrating and a crash like this has a big cost for the team in terms of spare parts and making new parts, as well as a lot of work for the team. It’s just never good,” Magnussen said after the race.

Haas at least have a 10-day turnaround to try and fix their cars ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, although it remains to be seen if there was any damage to the engines or either chassis from the crash. Both drivers might lose a gearbox from their pool as well, which could have ramifications further down the line.
All in all between the cost cap, the redistribution of work and potential delays to upgrades, the damage to key components and the fact their rivals scored, Monaco could not really have been worse for a team that until now had started the season so strongly.
