Kevin Magnussen believes Haas is justified in setting low expectations for the beginning of the 2024 season, yet he is optimistic about the team’s potential to progress through ongoing development efforts. Following a disappointing finish at the bottom of the constructors’ championship last year, Guenther Steiner was replaced as team principal by Ayao Komatsu. Komatsu anticipates starting at the back of the grid in Bahrain but is focusing on a stronger development plan for the future, which Magnussen supports. Despite acknowledging that progress might not be immediate at the first race, Magnussen sees a promising direction for Haas this year with a revamped development approach. While the team is cautious about initial progress, the overall outlook for the season is optimistic due to a more robust development trajectory.
