Indeed. Nevertheless, in my opinion it was brainless on Magnussen's part and he shouldn't have been there at all. Where was he going? The guardrail in front goes to the inside and there is a left-hand bend - there would have been no room for him and even if there had been, he would have had to line up at the back. He should have taken his foot off the gas, because it simply made no sense whatsoever what he was trying to do and to take such a risk on the first lap. A rookie would get his head washed for such an action.
Fully agree it was not a smart choice to go there, but ultimately he didn't cause the accident, as we see and agee
And neither did Perez turn on purpose, it was a lap 1 racing incident as stewards rightly ruled
