Kevin Magnussen may have left the F1 grid, but a third member of the family is just starting their journey up the single-seater ladder (although grand prix racing remains a long way off for now)
Kevin Magnussen’s younger brother Luca is making his way up the single-seater ladder by joining the UK-based GB4 series with Fortec Motorsport after a successful career in karting. Fortec team principal Oliver Dutton praised Luca’s remarkable potential and performance during his recent test at Donington Park. The GB4 series, run by MotorSport Vision, offers a cost-effective option for aspiring drivers looking to progress towards championships like GB3. Luca follows the footsteps of his brother Kevin, who had a fruitful decade in Formula 1, and his father Jan, a former British F3 standout in the 1990s. Despite Jan’s promising start in F1, his career didn’t meet expectations, while Kevin achieved a podium finish in his debut race with McLaren in 2014.
