Kevin Magnussen is making every effort to retain his seat with Haas for 2025, but the Dane admits there’s a chance he won’t be on the grid next season.
The 31-year-old, whose contract with Haas expires at the end of this season, has endured a difficult season year-to-date.
His meager tally of one point in the first nine races pales in comparison to teammate Nico Hulkenberg’s six-point haul. The Latter has also consistently outperformed him in head-to-head duels, further highlighting the disparity.
Magnussen’s 2024 campaign has been further marred by a string of clashes with other drivers. These incidents have resulted in a growing tally of penalty points, placing him precariously close to the 12-point threshold that would trigger an automatic race ban.
Adding to Magnussen’s worries is Haas’ apparent exploration of other options. Ferrari junior Ollie Bearman looks set to join the US outfit to serve his apprenticeship in F1, while team boss Ayao Komatsu has openly acknowledged his interest in the services of outgoing Alpine charger Esteban Ocon.
