According to Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu, Kevin Magnussen’s strong performance in Imola helped his chances for staying with the team. Nico Hulkenberg has already announced his departure from Haas after this season, with plans to join Stake before it rebrands as Audi in 2026. Despite Magnussen’s long tenure with Haas, his position is not secure due to competition from other drivers like Ollie Bearman. Komatsu emphasized the importance of Magnussen consistently delivering strong performances to secure his spot on the team. Despite a strategic error costing him a better finish in Imola, Magnussen’s potential was evident, which could help in attracting top drivers to Haas. However, while discussions with potential drivers are ongoing, Komatsu has chosen to keep those details confidential to respect the privacy of those involved.
