Something seems to be in the water over at Haas F1 with the dynamic lineup of Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen.
Over the span of the last two races (one of which did not feature Schumacher after a scary qualifying wreck in Saudi Arabia), the team has already scored more points than it has in the previous two seasons combined. In 2020, the squad scored three, but the following campaign brought zero points for the American-owned team. This year, however, Haas F1 has tallied 12 points heading into the Australian Grand Prix, and it is poised to be a competitive middle-of-the-pack threat.
Magnussen rejoined Haas F1 following the high-profile termination during the 2022 preseason of driver Nikita Mazepin and Uralkali. He last competed for Haas from ’17 to ’20, and, according to BBC, he negotiated his release from endurance racing commitments with Chip Ganassi Racing in the U.S. and Peugeot in Europe so he could return.
