Sure. It's a completely agressive last-resort dick move out of pure desperation. Magnussen knew what he was doing -- trying to take Jorg out. If the people+cars were reversed, I would say the same thing.

Jorg was out of hand with this move, you get bumped you do your best to cut the other drive off. The C6R is a beast when if comes to off the line speed, combo that with the bump and that's game over for Jorg. Bergmeister must have been livid because he went from Cut you off, to Push you in to the wall, into Full on Pit Maneuver. Magnussen must have made a mistake for the Vette to fly in the other direction like that. He should have Powered off the wall and won. I bet once he felt the bump from Jorg he tried to counter steer, then Bergmeister let off and that sent Magnussen flying. Wow just F-ing wow.

Both Magnussen and Bergmeister were dogs throughout the race, driving on the limit the entire time. The pass in the pit lane can be seen both ways obviously. When Magnussen hit Bergmeister at the end, it was a nudge like "get out my way", the pass could have been clean and there was no need for Bergmeister to push him to the wall. That was unnecessary and looked 100x worse than anything Magnussen did. Why, what do you think of it?
