Formula 1 journalist Lawrence Barretto recently hinted at a significant shift in Kevin Magnussen’s career trajectory. According to Barretto’s social media post, the Danish driver appears poised to depart from the Haas F1 Team, potentially marking his exit from Formula 1 racing altogether after this season.
Chatting to Kevin Magnussen today, I get the distinct feeling he is preparing for a racing career outside of F1 beyond this season. Haas haven’t nailed their line-up yet, but Ocon and Bearman are favourites to lock those seats in.”
This peek into Magnussen’s possible future comes amid an atmosphere of uncertainty at Haas concerning its driver lineup for the upcoming season. While Magnussen’s current teammate, Nico Hulkenberg, has managed to secure a modest tally of six championship points over ten races, Magnussen has struggled to make a mark, with only a single point to his name. The performance gap between the two has been stark, exacerbated by Magnussen encountering multiple on-track collisions and issues that brought him perilously close to suspension due to penalty points accumulation.
