F1 cockpit for 2025
Haas shows Magnussen the door – is Ocon coming?
Kevin Magnussen will leave the American Formula 1 racing team Haas after this season.
The contract with the 31-year-old Dane will not be extended, as the racing team announced. This means that Haas will line up with a new driver duo in 2025; the departure of German Nico Hülkenberg to Sauber has already been clear for some time.
Way clear for Ocon?
In Hülkenberg's place, 19-year-old Briton Oliver Bearman from the Ferrari junior academy will contest his first season as a regular driver. Frenchman Esteban Ocon, who will leave Alpine at the end of this year, is considered the top contender for Magnussen's seat. According to media reports, Ocon has already signed, but nothing is official yet.
"Would feel empty"
"I'm 31 years old and I'm starting to think that it would feel empty if I were to end my motorsport career after only racing in the midfield of Formula 1," Magnussen said recently. "When I look at Le Mans or the Indy 500 and see some of the winners, they look pretty damn happy, and I think there is a career outside of Formula 1."
