Kevin Magnussen looked to be firmly in the camp of ‘exiled F1 driver’ after he lost his drive at the end of 2020 because Haas needed paying drivers.
But with Nikita Mazepin axed between the 2022 pre-season tests, Haas needed a replacement.
And it has turned to the same driver it had to move aside for the Russian just over a year ago.
In this video we look at how the deal happened, why it makes sense, and what it means for Mick Schumacher

I'm so happy for this news, and that Peugeot is letting Kmag go without any penalty is wholesome.

To me that's the best part. Behind the scenes there was probably a bit more friction (contracts and whatnot), but that decision shows at least a surface level of caring of their drivers.

@poulwinther 2 года назад

What do you base that on? When Hass did well too quickly everyone blamed them for copying Ferrari and not a soul mentioned how spectacular the drivers were. When the car became under-powered and completely undrivable, everybody kept blaming the drivers for everything, failing to realize how they had to constantly perform at 105% just to keep the piece of crap on track. There are half a field of drivers who deserve it less so what the heck?

@Marcel-eg9bz 2 года назад

I understand that feeling as well. When Haas had a POS car, the drivers had to take so much more risk to just keep up, which makes it seem like the drivers were "bad". KMag was always aggressive, trying for every advantage - obviously frustrated by the state of the car, and that got him in trouble sometimes. Grosjean, well, you could argue the same, however he definitely made some HUGE mistakes - bad car or not - so I do feel like he needed a break from F1. Bottom line is, I really want Haas to do well this year. Now I like both drivers, and I love a good underdog story.

KMag was the perfect choice and I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't even considered him. He's an experienced and fast driver but his real benefit comes from knowing the team and the engineers so that he could get up to speed quickly and boy did he -- P1 on his first day in the car. Now he did have the advantage of driving late in the day when it was cooler and the track was probably at its best, but to put it P1 on your first day in the car is huge. I have to believe that whoever suggested KMag was as pumped up as Kevin was. Let's hope the Haas can give them a shot at genuine mid pack results with maybe a podium or two.
