Banned Kevin Magnussen hints at potential step back from full-time driving career

Haas driver Kevin Magnussen’s future remains uncertain as he faces a one-race ban at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix next weekend. It sounds like a full-time drive may no longer be in the cards, but Kevin Magnussen acknowledged to the media in Monza that he still needs to figure out where he’ll be going next. Kevin Magnussen: “I have nothing to report” regarding his future professional endeavors Sam Cooper and Thomas Maher’s additional reporting Kevin Magnussen, a 31-year-old Danish driver, is currently dealing with a difficult situation.

There are only two available seats remaining for the F1 2025 season, and his name hasn’t been in contention for either of them. He’s facing a one-race ban in Baku after accruing too many penalty points. And during press availability ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, Magnussen told assembled media, including PlanetF1.com, that his options are still wide open.

“I mean, I don’t really know,” Magnussen admitted when he was asked what his future plans are.

“I don’t have anything to report on that front. I’m still kind of making my own mind up on what I should pursue and what would be fun and fulfilling to do.”

When pressed further on what he’s been considering, Magnussen shut down the question by responding, “Until I have something final, I’m not going to tell you what’s going on.”

The transition from Formula 1 to another racing discipline isn’t always easy, and Magnussen seems to be weighing up a handful of options.

Ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix this year, Magnussen mused, “I’m starting to think that if I finished my motorsport career having just done F1 in the midfield, that kind of feels empty in some way.

“I watch some of those races — Le Mans, the Indy 500 — and I see the guys that win that; they look bloody happy.”

Magnussen has already dabbled in both IndyCar and sports car racing, both of which sound as if they’ll be his most likely options in the future. But with seats filling up fast, Magnussen may find himself running out of options.

However, Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu offered another hint for Magnussen’s future: A different role with the team
