Mick Schumacher says Kevin Magnussen, the new teammate of the Haas F1 Team, will be a “good benchmark” for the second season in F1.
Kevin Magnussen was racing with the Haas F1 Team from 2017 to 2020, but lost his seat when the team decided to join Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin. However, with the dismissal of Mazepin due to the Russian situation just before the start of the season, Magnussen had a chance to return to F1.
Kevin Magnussen has extensive experience in F1 driving with McLaren and Renault, and Mick Schumacher feels he can use Magnussen’s knowledge to strengthen himself.
“It’s definitely beneficial to me and the team,” said Mick Schumacher about Kevin Magnussen’s joining.
“He was on the team for four years, but of course there was a one-year break, but everyone on the team loves him. The team’s emotions and feelings are really good. And he Is a good reference, so for now there are only positive things. “
“You can benefit from his experience. He’s a good benchmark and now he has the opportunity to measure himself, feel the pressure and try to achieve results under the pressure.”
Guenther Steiner, principal of the Haas F1 Team, who ran two rookies last season, understands the benefits of both the team and Mick Schumacher in returning Kevin Magnussen to the fold.
“Of course, we value him (Magnussen) as a driver, but we also value that he knows the team. We will join the team in such a very short time, so in the team It’s good that someone knows how and the team knows him. “
“It’s good for Mick to have him. It will improve Mick even more. Mick is completely convinced to have an experienced driver who knows how to drive these cars. He’s been doing that for six years, so overall I think this is a very good move for the team. ”
