Kevin Magnussen is aiming for Haas to surpass Red Bull and secure sixth place in the F1 constructors’ standings, believing it is achievable but acknowledging the challenging points gap. With Red Bull leading Haas by 34 points to 27, a strong performance in the remaining 10 races could propel Haas back into contention for their best finish since 2018.

The competition between Ricciardo and Magnussen within Haas will be crucial for their success, with a focus on closing the gap to his teammate Hulkenberg. Both Haas and Red Bull are expected to introduce upgrades, with Magnussen emphasizing Haas’ positive development trend, offering a realistic chance for them to challenge Red Bull.
