Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen is considering his future options as he prepares to leave Haas at the end of the 2024 season. The Danish driver, who has been with Haas since 2017, will be parting ways with the team after a long relationship.

Although Magnussen has expressed his desire to remain in Formula 1, he is keeping his options open and is open to exploring other categories of motorsport if he is unable to secure a seat in F1 for the 2025 season. Teams like Mercedes, Alpine, RB, and Kick Sauber all have one remaining seat for next year, and Magnussen is waiting to see how things unfold before making a decision.

During the recent Belgian Grand Prix weekend, Magnussen mentioned that he would be interested in racing in the World Endurance Championship and IndyCar if an opportunity in F1 does not materialize. He emphasized that he is currently focused on Formula 1 but is willing to consider all possibilities once the season concludes.

Haas Team Principal Ayao Komatsu acknowledged the special relationship the team has with Magnussen and expressed his desire to continue working together in some capacity in the future. Magnussen, on the other hand, is focused on helping Haas maintain their positive momentum in the remaining races of the season as they aim to improve their position in the constructors’ standings.

Haas currently holds seventh place in the standings with 27 points, just seven points behind sixth-placed RB. With rookie Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon set to join the team in 2025, Magnussen’s future in Formula 1 remains uncertain, but he is optimistic about the possibilities that lie ahead.

As Magnussen approaches the end of his tenure with Haas, he is grateful for the experiences and opportunities he has had with the team and is looking forward to what the future holds, whether it be in Formula 1 or other categories of racing. The coming months will be crucial for Magnussen as he navigates the next steps in his racing career.
