Kevin Magnussen

Haas F1 Team

2023 Fantasy Outlook

The Danish driver had difficulties finishing in the points during the latter half of the 2022 season after starting off strong with three Top-10 finishes in the first four races. But alongside Haas' many mechanical issues last year- leading to five different DNFs out of 22 race starts for Magnussen- the driver of the No. 20 found it difficult to continuously outperform his younger teammate Mick Schumacher following the summer break. Despite his performance struggles, however, a wet qualifying session at the Brazil Grand Prix brought Magnussen (and Haas, by extension) his first-ever pole position in Formula One, and a moment to be remembered fondly in the years to come. Magnussen urgently needs a good season going into 2023, both for the sake of his own confidence and for the benefit of his team; with any luck, Haas will have remedied the issues with the VF-22 that plagued the Dutchman throughout the 2022 season and Magnussen will be able to put up some good points for the team this year.

Hand Surgery

Formula One

January 13, 2023

Haas F1 driver Magnussen will undergo surgery on his left hand prior to the 2023 campaign, casting doubt over the Dane's planned pre-season outing in the 24 Hours of Daytona, Formula1.com reports.

ANALYSIS
Magnussen had committed to racing alongside his father in an MDK Motorsport-run Porsche 911 GT3 at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. However, that plan may fall apart now as the younger Magnussen will undergo hand surgery to remove a cyst that has been causing him general soreness in the hand. The procedure at this late a date will likely not allow Magnussen to recover in time for the prestigious 24-hour race at Daytona. Healing and recovering in time for the upcoming Formula 1 season will be his priority.
