Kevin Magnussen remains a “serious contender” for a race seat with Haas next year – despite the American team considering other candidates.
Haas have yet to confirm either of their 2025 drivers, though British teenager Oliver Bearman is expected to land the seat vacated by Nico Hulkenberg, who is leaving for Sauber. No decision has been made yet, though, regarding Magnussen’s future.
The Dane scored just three points last year and has only one to his name so far this term. He has been out-performed in that regard by Hulkenberg, but he has proven himself a team player in recent months by compromising his own races to help his team-mate to score.
Komatsu said: “He’s in contention for sure. I don’t want to say how many drivers we’re talking to but, certainly, Kevin is a serious contender for next year because he’s been great. Especially since Nico came, he has stepped up another notch and this year as a team player and understanding what he needs to do to bring this team forward. He’s been working really hard and I’m really grateful for that.”
