The news of the return to Formula 1 of Kevin Magnussen, chosen by Haas to replace the footed Nikita Mazepin, aroused curiosity and interest in the Circus. Since his first appearance in the car, during the pre-season tests in Bahrain, the Dane has wanted to get noticed. The best time ever achieved in day 2 at Sakhir was in fact his, even if facilitated by better track conditions and a softer tire than the one used by the opponents. Clearly, no one expects that on Sunday, on the occasion of the first GP of the year, Haas and Magnussen will be able to fight for top positions. However, the speed with which the native of Roskilde has readjusted to F1 after more than a year of absence has impressed many observers.
The entire parable in Magnussen’s Haas, from 2017 to 2020, was lived alongside the Frenchman Romain Grosjean. There was no lack of disagreements between the two, even ferocious ones, on the track, but then a beautiful bond of friendship was born that continues to this day. The French driver, who after leaving the American team at the end of 2020 landed with moderate success in the IndyCar championship, said about him about his colleague’s return to the fold, wishing him the best but also highlighting how he would do it. different choices. “A lot of people asked me if I would be back in F1. No, I wouldn’t – said Grosjean, as reported by the site MotorsportWeek – I’m really happy in the United States and in IndyCar “.
“Every weekend I am very excited to go to the race and have a chance to win. I have had an incredible career in F1 – added Grosjean again – all the races I have done there represent a very big part of my life. But now I think about the next chapter and the next chapter is to win races and championships. So I would not have responded positively to the call “. The transalpine veteran, however, wished Magnussen maximum success. “I think it’s great, i am so happy for kevin – concluded Grosjean – even if we didn’t always get along and we had a different view on the races from teammates he is really a fantastic guy “.
