Danish Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen will bid farewell to Haas at the conclusion of the 2024 season, the American constructor announced on Thursday. Magnussen's departure marks the end of a seven-year association with Haas, spanning two stints from 2017-2020 and 2020-2024.
Magnussen has amassed 135 Grand Prix appearances for Haas, with his most notable achievements being two fifth-place finishes in Bahrain and Austria during the 2018 season. He also secured ninth place in the overall driver standings that year.
"I'm grateful to everyone at MoneyGram Haas F1 Team," said Magnussen. "I'm proud to have raced for such a great team over the past few years. I especially want to thank Gene Haas for his unwavering support, particularly for bringing me back in 2022 when I thought my Formula 1 journey had come to an end."
Magnussen's departure follows that of his German teammate Nico Hulkenberg, leaving Haas with a completely new driver lineup for the 2025 season. The American team has already announced the arrival of 19-year-old Briton Oliver Bearman, while French Alpine driver Esteban Ocon is the frontrunner to fill the second seat.
Magnussen's exit from Haas opens up a new chapter in his career. The 31-year-old Dane has not yet announced his future plans, but he is expected to remain in Formula One with another team.
