Kevin Magnussen has given team-mate Mick Schumacher his vote of support as the German fights for his Formula 1 future.
The son of seven-time world champion Michael has been in F1 for the last two seasons, but there is no guarantee he will get a third. His seat is one of the final two on the grid not secure for next season with Haas keen to assess their options before committing.
Guenther Steiner has made it clear that he will not be rushed into making a decision, but has also asserted that Schumacher will remain in the running to keep hold of his seat. A final decision is not expected until at least after the Mexican Grand Prix, but could take longer than that.
