An axed Formula 1 star has issued a statement on social media following a nightmare debut with their new racing team. The 2025 grid will introduce several new names to F1 audiences, following the departure of familiar faces such as Daniel Ricciardo, Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas.
Kevin Magnussen was denied a podium on his BMW debut at the 2025 Daytona 24 Hours when the #24 car suffered damage late on in a nail-biting conclusion to the enduro.
Kevin Magnussen has sent a thinly-veiled dig at Formula One by saying he is looking forward to a 'real racing' environment in his new role. The Dane was dropped by Haas at the end of last season and looks unlikely to return to the grid in the future, having returned to another series he is already familiar with.
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has confirmed that Kevin Magnussen, who parted ways with the team and Formula 1 after the 2024 season, will continue working wi
For the season opener in IMSA, the Rolex Daytona 24 Hours, Magnussen is part of the driver line-up for the pole position #24 car as Dries Vanthoor topped qualifying with a 1:33.895. Magnussen thus has a great chance of tasting podium success again, and said he’s relishing the prospect of taking part in “real racing” again.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — It is with great relief that Kevin Magnussen leaves Formula 1 in his rearview mirror after a 10-year career that produced exactly one podium finish, way back in his 2014 rookie season.
Kevin Magnussen, a veteran of more than 180 Formula 1 Grands Prix, has joined BMW M Motorsport’s L.M.D.h. program in sports cars. “I’ve always had a passion for, you know, all sorts of motorsport races, and with the BMW deal that allows me to go and explore and try and win some of these big classic endurance races,” he said.
Magnussen, who finished up his F1 career in 2024 racing for the Haas F1 Team, hopes to be in the mix for the win this weekend at Daytona. The BMW M Team RLL Hybrid V8 team of Magnussen, Phillip Eng, Raffaele Marciello and Dries Vanthoor are on the pole for this year's 24 and a favorite in the GTP class.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has been labelled a “spoiled brat” who would be “nothing” without his father in a furious rant by a Williams-affiliated sim racer. Verstappen, who claimed a fourth consecutive World Championship in F1 2024,
Kevin Magnussen could not have started his new adventure in the IMSA championship on a better note. The Danish driver, who has left Formula 1 after a decade in the sport, took pole position with his BMW teammates for the 24 Hours of Daytona.
An axed Formula 1 star’s new drive has been revealed after a series of stunning images were shared on social media. The grid will be missing a few familiar faces in 2025, with the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas and Kevin Magnussen all losing their race seats last year.
The crowds at the 2025 race show an obvious increase in enthusiasm for racing. The banking at Daytona is a steep 31 degrees in the turns. Blink and you'll miss 'em. The Ferris wheel may be a pricey $8 ride,
