A true fairy tale. Ferrari had never won in 2020 and 2021 and started 2022 with a brace. But Haas is also among the great protagonists of this start of the season. The team led by Gunther Steiner has experienced enormous vicissitudes on the eve of the championship, unpredictable problems dictated by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia that led the US team to separate from the title sponsor Uralkali and consequently from Nikita Mazepin. Kevin Magnussen was hastily recalled in place of the Russian pilot, admitting after the first impact with the VF-22 that he was a bit out of shape with his neck.
The 1992-born driver returned to being fit enough for these F1 2022s in time for the first race weekend where he was exceptional both in qualifying and in the race. Magnussen finished in fifth position, a result he had not achieved since the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix. After crossing the finish line, the radio team between Kevin and the Haas wall was a riot of joy and emotion. Team principal Gunther Steiner celebrated the driver who brought back to F1 to lead the US team back to prestigious positions in the Constructors’ standings: “This was truly a great return, welcome back you fucking Viking“ the outburst of Steiner, who after weeks of passion finally collects ten points, far more than the three obtained in the last two years (all in 2020).

On Twitter the Haas he said good morning to his followers trying to describe the mood of exaltation that reigns within the stars and stripes team. “We all feel like this Kevin Magnussen this morning” the caption accompanying an eloquent tweet. Even for Haas, after years of poor satisfaction, the time has come to celebrate a more than positive result.
