Halfway through the season, Haas is currently ranked seventh in the constructors’ standings, just ahead of Renault and only few points behind Toro Rosso. “So now if we can score another 29 points by Abu Dhabi, that would be a great position.” Haas-Ferrari eventually finished a creditable eighth in its debut F1 campaign and repeated that performance in 2017. Kevin can grab points and Romain can too,” said Haas. He can score points and that was the key for bringing him on board. He was as fast as Romain (Grosjean) in practice, but I think that Kevin has an edge in terms of race experience. He also drove for Renault last season, but was brought in to replace Esteban Gutierrez at Haas this year. Kevin Magnussen meanwhile impressed upon his debut with McLaren in 2014 by finishing second in the Australian Grand Prix, but has yet to score another podium since. But that evidently won’t be happening next season – even if Kimi Raikkonen is replaced.
HAAS F1 2017 DRIVERS DRIVER
He scored ten podium finishes before switching to the Haas team when it hit the grid last year, reportedly hoping the Ferrari-supported team would serve as a springboard to the front-running Scuderia. Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner has admitted that he believed the Haas driver line up of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen could no longer work after. Grosjean first made his race debut in F1 back in 2009 with Renault, but reverted to GP2 the following season to win the title the year after (and his second GP2 Asia Series title), and return to F1 in 2012 with the same team (then under the Lotus banner).
