With three rounds left in the season, Haas is seventh in the constructors’ championship, three points behind Alpine. Kevin Magnussen believes his team is capable of getting ahead of their rivals in the remaining races.
Kevin Magnussen: โWe can’t be sure of anything, and we didn’t even think about Alpine, but suddenly they were ahead of us. We believe that our car is fast, and the team has been winning points regularly recently. In addition, Aston Martin has problems, and many points will still be up for grabs in the remaining races.
Currently, three teams are competing for sixth place in the Builders Championship. It means a lot to us to finish sixth or eighth. Yes, the driver will not be able to put this result on a resume, but the position in the Constructors’ Championship is very important to everyone in the team.
All the new products we introduced this year were effective. Thanks to the latest updates, the car is a bit faster per lap, easier to drive and more efficient on the tires. Thanks to the latest innovations, the car has a wider operating range, and this speaks to the excellent work of the team. “
When asked about his plans for 2025, Kevin said that he intends to continue working with Haas, but no longer as a main driver.
“I won’t be racing in Formula 1 next year and that’s obvious,” says Magnussen. – In every race I learn something new and try to have fun. I have made it very clear that I want to continue working with Haas in some capacity. Now my team and I are talking about how we can implement this. This is more of a question for Ayo Komatsu – how he looks at this, and if he can help me. “
