Kevin Magnussen “Has the Talent” But Needs to Find a Seat “Somewhere”- Steiner

Haas fired both their drivers of this season last Thursday. Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean will have to vacate their seats from the American team for next season. Guenther Steiner had been clear about his intentions for the team in 2021, and it is not shocking that he acted accordingly.

However, when asked about the future of his racers, Steiner came up with a surprising revelation. As Romain Grosjean prepares to get into Endurance championships, he is out of the question. This leaves Kevin Magnussen, and Steiner says he would love to see him in the grid next season.

“Just like at the moment it’s tough to find a seat, but he has shown over the last four years with us and before that he has the talent, he just needs to find somewhere.” commented the Haas principal.

The Danish driver had his one-year stints with the French and the English before joining the Americans. Magnussen learned a lot at the McLaren and Renault camps, even if for a small time period. Yet, after all that, when he arrived at Haas, his skills still needed polish.

Kevin Magnussen matured with age

Having raced for the American outfit for almost four years, Kevin Magnussen flourished like old wine. Even though he didn’t really score much, he developed into a better version of himself. For a driver on the grid, that is extremely important.

“He matured a lot I would say; I’m very complimentary of that towards him. The first two years I think he had still what you call it, the symptoms of being fired twice from a team.” recalled Steiner.

As Kevin Magnussen leaves Haas, his options at F1 do come to a close. The competition for seats this year is tight, and at this moment there is no chance for him to make it somewhere else. Yet, the Danish driver should not get demoralized as he is still has a few years and the opportunities will come his way.

“He was always a bit on the edge but he calmed down a lot, he’s much more mature, it also comes with age that you become much more mature.” remarked Guenther Steiner.

Haas presently have not declared their line up for 2021. However, the fan’s guess would be Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher. Both the drivers gaining the cockpits with influence. Mick with FDA’s and Mazepin with his dad’s. But, seeing Guenther drive his team with these two young bloods will be a feast for the next season.
