Magnussen Reflects on His Final F1 Races and Next with BMW

Dec 5, 2024 at 1:11 PM
Kevin Magnussen, a renowned figure in the world of motorsports, is set to make a significant mark. He will become part of an elite group of experienced competitors. This roster includes the legendary motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi, the former Formula E drivers Rene Rast and Robin Frijns, and the IMSA record-breaker Bill Auberlen. The move marks the end of Magnussen's on-and-off decade as a Formula 1 driver. He has previously made two comebacks to the grid in 2016 and 2022, but this time, it seems likely to be his final departure. As he prepares for his third and likely last F1 race, he shares his thoughts. "It's actually my third last F1 race – at the end of '14, at the end of '20, and now it's my third," he said. "I've been here a few times so it's getting old almost! I feel good. Like the other two times, it's a special thing because you're thinking about everything you do, it being the last time. It's always special when you know it could be your last time, and I think it is the last time. Stepping out of the car on Sunday's going to be a weird feeling, thinking 'okay that was it, that's the last time'."
