P1racenews AI automatic summary:
It’s not just the Formula 1 stewards who aren’t impressed with Kevin Magnussen’s recent antics. His chances of keeping his Haas seat for 2025 have just diminished
Kevin Magnussen is at risk of receiving a Formula 1 race ban this season due to accumulating 10 penalty points in just six events, putting his future with Haas in jeopardy. If he gets two more penalty points this season, he will face an automatic one-race suspension and be replaced by reserve driver Ollie Bearman. Bearman is expected to join Haas full-time, making the pressure on Magnussen to retain his seat even greater. Despite Magnussen’s efforts to play the team game, his risky driving style has raised concerns within Haas and team principal Ayao Komatsu. The incidents in Miami, including aggressive defensive driving and a collision with Logan Sargeant, have further strained Magnussen’s position on the team. Komatsu’s focus is on finding a driver who can serve as a reference point for the team post-Nico Hulkenberg, adding to the uncertainty surrounding Magnussen’s future at Haas.
