How Kevin Magnussen landed a shock F1 return with Haas for 2022
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- 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.
He really put those teams in a bind. That they OK'd that is a huge deal. Good for Chip Ganasi, he is a good guy
@@KingHoborg Peugeot knew him leaving to chase P10 at best instead of chasing an LM win is penalty enough.
@@kartaltoth684 At first I had hype about Peagueot, but it seems it's costing them more time to develop their new car. Seems like Porsche is doing better eith their protoype than Peagueot(think I misspronounced)
A real racing company understands
I'm really hoping the Haas car is good this year, since it would be great to see how much potential both Schumacher and Magnussen have.
They had the most wind tunnel time
don't worry, it won't be
I dont think its the case
Agnussen is a great driver, proven before.
I don't think they'll be last this year, unless they keep screwing up pit stops
@@OscyJack- great enough for you to not remember his name?
Really happy for him, Mick's got a real tough challenge ahead
A real good challenge for Mick. Will be interesting to watch.
Yuuup, Mick will learn the killer instinct 👌🏽
I really hyped for Mick but i'm sure he can be better than Magnussen, i've seen his junior career and he got much better everytime he has very good rivals like Illot in F2.
Mathew Gunning yup. This really suits Haas and Ferrari. With the way Sainz is driving, Mick is no guarantee to have that seat
@@runninginthe90s75 don’t sleep on Magnussen, he consistently beat Grosjean, and out qualified Button in his rookie year, Magnussen doesn’t get the credit he deserves
Only when his return was announced I realised how much I wanted him back in F1. So happy !
Ditto ! 😃
I feel the same way. I`m Danish, so this season, which I was already looking forward to, is going to be even more exciting. So happy too. Take care mate.
Actually yes, he is always fun/interesting to watch - even if driving a slow car.
P5 in his first race back speaks volumes to not just the car, but KMag's ability to adapt. Incredible.
i'm so happy for him, we never got to see his true potential because of all the cars he's been given but hopefully haas gives him the car he needs and DESERVES
Wow, I didn't think you'd comment here. Love your vids!
@@idontknow4260 thank you!
@@dylanf1 he already showed great potential in his first season, not anyone can do a podium in f1 debut
Finally someone who has a brain, and the capacity to think, my thoughts are the same as yours, I love Kmag, really big fan of his. I'm a brazilian, and I'm so sadened by some of my countrymen's opinions on this matter, I even saw a guy saying that the Russian Eggman is better than Kmag, and also saw one of my personal favourites channels say some very bad shit about Kmag and about the whole situation
@@bernardoberner4 favoritismo cega
This season would've made history just for the fact that Alex and Kevin have made a return
Finally Mick has a good comparison, from whom he can learn things.
exactly! couple off years to make him ready for the red horse.....😃😉
The most intelligent choice... Knows the team, loves the sport, and has experience...
I'm sad the peugeot is losing magnusson but I'm also happy he got a seat in f1 again. I'm conflicted.
P5 in his first race back. Not bad!
There was a time I felt KMag didn't deserved a spot at HAAS anymore. But having seen how Mazepin performed, I'm quite glad to see KMag back on the grid!
But the question remains whether or not HAAS has a decent enough car prepared and are going to have for this season.
Magnussen’s junior careers is one of the best and he has a podium on debut, he’s also beaten Grosjean consistently and out-qualified Jenson Button, it was clear that Haas dropped him because of monetary reasons, he’s always been deserving of a spot in the grid
K Mag is a beast but unfortunately his car wasn’t competitive enough in the past
@@danyb97 Yeah he never has a car near the top of the midfield with the exception of 2014 and 2018
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?
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.
“But Guenther called me and ruined all that”
I love that he already started making jokes 😂
Love K-Mag's wry sense of humor. Similar to Kimi's
@@josephcoleman57 His father Jan Magnussen has also that kind of humour
He's top of the timings at the end of day two of testing.
He didn't need time to get back into the groove.
Hopefully, Haas gives him a good enough car for the season ahead.
The Haas without the blue stripes is now one of the better liveries of this year, very excited.
KM needs a competitive drive to show off his talent
Happy to see K-Mag back! Hopefully the Haas is up to being a more competitive car this year!
If you look at testing times haas is not doing too bad at all. Which is nice to see. Day two of testing KMAG went 9th with Mick going 12th
@@samr7609 In the extended hour, Magnussen went 1st 🤩
@@permadsen8449 elite
definitely better this time.I hope Haas stay in the mifield and improve even further. I like the underdog winning and taking positions.
Happy to see KMag back in the paddock. But can we all take a moment to appreciate the beauty of that Peugeot? ❤️
I didn’t see this one coming, but it’s a good decision from haas
Thats pretty awesome that those teams let him go back to formula 1 despite having the legal standing to keep him.
I imagine they had a good discussion - it could be equally tough for them if they reject the offer and they end up with a demotivated driver they have to replace later. I’m guessing there’s no lack of good drivers that can backfill him in LMP! I know a lot of ppl speak highly of KMag’s skills, but I’m sure there are many at a similar level.
I hope that Kevin does well this year.
If he does, then he may stay for a couple more seasons.
He got multiple year contract
@@Haji84 He did?
@@BobBobbyIsReallyThatDudeFR Did u watch the video?
@@hulubuluhejhej2721 Yes
@@BobBobbyIsReallyThatDudeFR are u sure? he awnser the question in the video?
Well, apparently he did set the fastest time today.
Glad to see K-Mag back. Always loved his no prisoners taken style of racing. Hope Haas built good car so he can show why he was so highly rated.
K-mag, back, with the fastest time
It’s so great to see Kevin again in Formula 1. Now HAAS have a real driver line-up for the season. 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Kom så Magnussen!!…., vi ved du kan lave flere podier, smukke mand du er hurtig nok
Good for K Mag, good for all of us. 👍
Pretty excited to see Magnussen coming back. This is awesome. Hopefully Haas can do some awesome work this year.
Yes! Propps to Gannassi and Peugeot for letting K Mag race in F1...🏁
2019 Haas was such a disappointing machine, it was so rapid but tyre wear was absolutely horrendous. Even after all that, we've seen KMag grab a couple of P4 and P5 in Q in the backmarker Haas. That's why I still believe that he's better than half of the grid
really happy for both of them I'm sure they'll have a great relationship that will end up being cast as rivalry in drive to survive lol
He ran .3 faster than Sainz when Haas was running after the regular end of the testing session!!
Qualifying as number seven in he’s comeback, what a great performance…. It just shows he’s great potential after have been away from the formula one, because HAAS needed Mazepins dad to sponsor them. Finally HAAS have a driver beside Schumacher that they can rely on… welcome back K-Mag!!! 🇩🇰❤️🇩🇰✌️
Well he just got the fastest lap in day 2 of testing so damn...
Just got back from the end of practice. Magnussen is P1 baby!
I think Magnessan will definately help Haas improve their program . He has the expirence to help improve the development of the chassis.
Hey i'm new to f1. Why is magnussen considered a "veteran" when he also only has a year of experience in f1?
@@andytabala6791 he has driven many seasons before, he just had a year long break and now he has rejoined the sport
@@magnusgissel860 yup, i know that now. But thanks for taking the time to reply!
You call it a shock return. But really, it was the obvious choice. As soon as I heard it, my immediate reaction was “oh, duh.”
Doesn't matter now if they have a competitive car or not. It will be spicy between the hardest racer of modern times versus Schumacher II
Huge surprise to see his return but I couldn't be happier!!! As an American I am so glad to support our Team!!!! I'm so excited to see what Magnussen will do with the new car!!
Cmon Haas!! Let's see a good year!! Get them points!
Finally! A good senior driver and a fast rookie. Hope they will score some points this year.
And he starts out with a P7 qualifier and P5 finish - massive!
Disappointed for young guys like Piastri and Fittipaldi but I think Kevin is a good pick
No piastri was a good pick bro we don’t need another old shit driver on the grid
@@James__bond007 haas needs an experienced driver to help steer them in the right direction
@@James__bond007 Fuck Piastri.
@@James__bond007 Right, alpine will suddenly give up Piastri when they didn't do so to get the Alfa Romeo seat for him, typical logic of someone who literally knows nothing other than the score sheet.
Piastri had no chance as he's part of Alpine
Fittipaldi would just be another Mazepin
Haas is going to be a midfield team this year..
Perfect mentor for Mick
Did Kevin Have a Mercedes he is whiout doubt The best in The world
And like that, I'm a Haas fan again.
After watching episode 4 of DTS this must be an extreme breath of fresh air for the team, Mazepin seemed like cancer.
I'm so sad not seeing him race for Peugeot in le Mans, but so excited for his return in f1
I"ll say it again, I really want to see Haas be competitive at least as back markers. It gets tiring watching Haas be P19 & P20
Super happy about this, K Mag is great to watch.
SUPER PROUD OF K MAG FOR BEING BACK AND SHOWING HE DESERVES THAT SEAT MORE THEN ANYONE 👏 WELL DONE FROM AMERICA 🇺🇸 MATE
Also sets fastest time in extra hour of testing!!!
Good video, the first one I have seen that appears about accurate on Magnussen's return. Other videos on RUclips concerning Magnussen's return before this, appears rushed and mainly rely on Drive to Survive or something like that for their "facts".
Kudos to Peugeot for letting K-Mag go back to Haas.
Mazapin was ONLY,a Good Strategy ECONOMICALLY,!! However, as per "Performance," DUH!....
He set the fastest time today after the camera men went home, young Schumacher has a problem now .
I can see good things for him a likable chap look forward to seeing him in the new car fingers cross for a good car.
Fastest lap in his first day in the car and better reliability than Mick had so it's definitely a positive start for him.
I want to see Magnussen get a win this season. I want to see Haas flourish and succeed over the next few years. Now that Mazepin is gone, Haas can get back to doing what they can to get some wins.
that seems a bit too ambitious
@@dylembo2912 Fastest time at testing. Sure, it's testing, but even if it means they're in the midfield, a win could happen.
@@christianhildalgo not to be annoying, but if you've watched formula 1 for more than 2 years, testing means absolutely nothing. at one point in 2020 testing, alfa topped the sheets.
@@dylembo2912 It's almost as if I did say that in the comment. However, if it's topping the sheets, it's probably not the worse car out there. All I'm saying is that even a lower midfield car (5-6th in the WCC) has a shot at a win with the right conditions so it is not as ambitious as you made it look.
Like hell, just last year, McLaren 1-2 (4th WCC), Alpine win and p3 (5th), AlphaTauri p3 and a win the year before (6th WCC), Aston Martin p2 in Baku (7th WCC). And even if most people don't consider it legitimate, for good reasons, Williams (8th WCC) p2 in Spa.
I hope the Haas car can perform up to Kevin's talent.
Ohh boy!! He set the fastest lap of testing 🔥🔥
Yes, yes, yes. Why the fuzz ?
@@5855brot Good that he showed that everyone is sandbagging.. I hope i am right here.. or else this would be a super interesting season.
The new look and regulations of the cars
Returning drivers Albon and KMag
I really hope this season doesn’t fall flat, bc the build up to the season has been *insane*
Man I hope that he will rejoin the Peugeot Le Mans team .. he would fit in so perfectly !!!
Hell yes. The fact that HAAS had Mazepin racing and sponsoring the team is completely insane.
I like Kmag, I honestly think he's underrated and a bloody fast driver on his day
He set the fastest time of the day, so I'd say he is reacclimating well. Good for him.
I'm actually so stoked for Haas this year. I love Mick, I love KMag, I love a good underdog story - so I can only hope they have a great season, I think they deserve it.
Here after KMAGs 5th place finish, NAILED IT
I think interestingly a multi year deal implies Mazapin isn't coming back.
Meaning sanctions aren't planned to end after this year. Meaning no Sochi race, maybe ever again.
So moving forward, there are concerns China might do the same invasion to Taiwan as Russia did to Ukraine. Will China get the same treatment as Russia, and does Zhou get cut as well. Alfa Romeo has to have a plan for that case.
First day back and already posted the quickest time in Bahrain testing. Can't wait to get this F1 season started
The team that let him come back to F1 are amazing.
Recalling Magnussen simply means he was good enough to be the best choice if it wasn't for not showering £$€ all over the paddock.
Good luck Kevin!
Think about it. KMag was in a car that was built around Mazepin and although he set the fastest lap when the track was empty, it's still amazing he was able to do that! He is more deserving to have that seat!!
Really enjoying seeing K-Mag back in the HAAs car. A lot of potential for HAAs this year.
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.
P5 at Bahrain 💪
Also nice to have the lap1 lightning back. :)
Multi year contract for K Mag?
I like how he starts. I don't know how he does it, but he always seems to throw an interesting monkey wrench at the starts. He showed today he hasn't lost that.
Peugeot… earned respect!
p5 baby!!
Really want to see HAAS leading the midfield this year, probably that's too much to ask from a team that's into so much of trouble but hey this is F1, plus first season with the new rules, anything can happen.
I think what they should aim for is at least where Aston Martin were last year
Occasional point scorers with potential for higher at times is a good benchmark for them
Midfield might be pushing it but picking up points and maybe, with a bit of luck on their side, a podium might be possible.
i love kmag felt he never had the machinery just to show how good he is. He is very consistent mildfield runner hopefully he does well
That Peugeot prototype is so beautiful.
Well if the practice runs today is the actual skill gap between the two - then Mick needs to shut up and listen to EVERYTHING Kevin says... cause damn! Who saw that coming? Welcome back Kevin!
That's a good news. Finally Mick will have a good pilot to compare with. And magnussen knows the team.
I’m a sucker for underdog story. Will be rooting for KMag to score some points and hopefully Haas can squeezed in the midfield turf this season
The Viking can do it, he just didn't have the machinery. Even if the Haas just turned out to be a midfield car, Mags wil enjoy this season and many years to come. This is proof of the allure of F1 to any professional race driver. Top placer in a different series or bottom of the standings in F1 and I bet you almost any driver will throw themselves for a chance at F1 no matter where that team stands.
The benefit of Magussen is that he has a significant amount of
F1 experience which a rookie would not. That counts for a lot,
pressure is huge enough for those with experience imagine a rookie which doesn’t know a team well, the tracks the car,
commitments with press…
I was sad to see Mags go and am ecstatic about Haas this year with a rejuvenated car and driver. LET'S GO HAAS!
took hm one race!
Being a bright test driver for McLaren then a rookie shining from the very first race Kevin had the halmarks of a great career in F1.
Being sidelined due to cost handicap and cut short by a pay driver was not the way he should spend and exit in F1.
Now Kevin has a shot to set things right and make his stay in F1 a brighter more positive memorable one.
Goodluck Kevin and the HAAS team keeping the small team dream and American F1 connection alive.
This is the one down side to F1 well there must be more but this is the one that hits home to me !!! How sad is it if you are good at what you do but if you can not invest monies
in what you do you are out ???? And those spoilt brats who have dosh as in money get the ride !! This is so so sad for a sport I have followed for over 40 years How many drivers
of value/talent have been missed due to this Many Many at a guess ????
I think F1 gains more than Kevin does. I hope I’m wrong and that Haas are a genuine midfield contender.
Really happy to see him back but kinda sad that he left a potentially lemans winning drive with Peugeot
I like K Mag.
He seems a decent, level headed bloke.
I am pleased he is back in F1.
☮
''i was winning and getting podiums...........then guenther called me'' 😂
I'm very happy to see him back i can't wait the when season is started it's couple of days left until next sunday race
The best thing I can say about Magnussen's return is that when the faster cars come up to lap the Haas this season, drivers have a better than even chance of NOT being shunted.
I think you meant when Haas comes to lap the other cars
