Gunter Steiner made an intriguing remark about the Dane’s return to F1 before this season, who he said would do well to lose his seat at the end of 2020.
It’s safe to say that Kevin Magnussen immediately gave his career a new impetus came back with a result To Haas, who finished last year without any unit, and is already at 15 points. In addition, the Danish driver has so far confidently won over Mick Schumacher, who overshadowed Nikita Mazepin last year, putting the 23-year-old German under a lot of pressure.
Perhaps Magnussen wasn’t expected, because although he had flashes during his six seasons in F1 earlier, he’s made a name for himself with his most questionable maneuvers and collision with Roman Grosjean.
However, Haas boss Gunther Steiner said the pilot’s height was not due to Magnussen’s maturity, but to the fact that he was no longer afraid of losing his seat.

“I don’t think he was so mature before, but he’s grown up now. He’s 29, still young, but when he came back to the team earlier this year, he was more confident. I think he lived in fear of losing his place in the Formula 1 during his previous time with us, but once that really happened, that fear was no longer in him,” said Italian-American M.otorsport.com Italian edition.
Magnussen practically booked his Formula One career at the end of 2020 and then focused on long-distance racing. Haas’ offer came as a surprise.
“There’s another aspect to this that I don’t think was accidental at all: he wasn’t looking for a Formula 1 seat, but we were,” Steiner offended the background to his Danish performance this year. “I think that’s a bonus for a professional rider.” And, of course, the all-important fifth place he achieved when he returned to Bahrain drove the water to his mill. He has become a kind of hero, and today his heart is in place and he has found peace with himself. ”
“I see Kevin who communicates more, is more confident in his interaction with the team, but as a rider he is the same as he was.”
After Bottas and Leclerc 2.0, maybe Kevin Magnussen also has a second version?
