Incredible happened! Kevin Magnussen will take over from Nikita Masebin this year. After a year in the United States, Dane is competing in F1 again.
One after the announcement that he was looking for Haas Experienced driver For victims Nikita Masebin Came around to change many names. However, Kevin Magnusson’s name is not much on that list.
Dane left the Formula 1 team in 2020 due to disappointing performance and Uralkali’s sponsor ruble. Magnussen later joined the Cadillac IMSA DPI team and even did a test IndyCarHe performed well in both fields and the return to F1 seems to be minimal.
New reluctance
During the year he left F1, Magnussen repeatedly stated that he did not want to return to a team that did not have the ability to win the race. On social media he joked about what was new Haas VF-22† He compared the Russian-colored car at the time to anyone other than Herbie.
Attractive deal
Apparently, even without Russian sponsorship money, Jean Haas was able to offer an attractive contract to the 29-year-old veteran. KMag will return as a replacement for his replacement this season.

With Mick Schumacher and undoubtedly sour Pietro Fittibaldi, Kevin takes part in the second winter test at the Bahrain Circuit. Until then Transport aircraft Definitely should come at the right time.
It is true that it is new Basic effect rules Breaking the pitch in theory would undoubtedly contribute to Magnuson’s decision, but the salary would not be ineligible either. KMag has been contracted for several seasons.
Number 8
2022 will already be the eighth season for Magnuson. McLaren made his debut in 2014 alongside Jensen Button, the son of the grossly failed superstar John Magnuson. After Daniel Ricardo’s Red Bull ship was found to have an illegal fuel flow sensor, he immediately took second place on a platform in his debut.
With the arrival of Fernando Alonso, he was placed on the reserve bench, but after Fernando’s mysterious test crash, Magnussen remained in Melbourne early on. However, McLaren-Honda – how could it be – really makes no sense in driving the race.
In 2016, Magnussen switched to the new Renault team, but he was unable to rush down the Lotus that year. With two to ten results for his name, he switched to Haas the following season, scoring five points that season.
The highlight came in 2018: with ten to 10 results, Magnussen was able to finish ninth in the championship. Unfortunately, Haas lost that good form in 2019 and 2020, and the relationship between Dane and his team quickly fell apart. Like the door of Gunder Steiner. We are very keen to see if Magnussen can lift the team out of that deep tank this year.
