On the eve of the Miami Grand Prix, Haas driver Kevin Magnussen spoke about his expectations for the upcoming round and assessed his performance in the opening races of the season.
Q: What do you expect from the stage in Miami?
Kevin Magnussen: I’ve been to Miami a few times. Last year I attended the IMSA in the US and spent some time in the city. I was also on vacation in Miami when I was offered a job at Haas! I’m looking forward to returning as the race has already created a lot of excitement, which is great.
Q: Can you tell us about the circuit in Miami and the overtaking opportunities?
Kevin Magnussen: There are two long straights on the track with excellent overtaking opportunities at the end. The track combines fast and slow sections. The part from Turn 4 to Turn 11 is very fast, and from 11th to 16th it’s incredibly slow. Given these factors and two long straights, I hope we have an interesting race ahead.
Q: Are you already established in Formula 1 after four rounds of the season? What do you think of the new generation of cars?
Kevin Magnussen: I believe the transition to a new generation of cars has brought about positive changes because they allow you to fight and attack more. I like these cars.
I feel like I’ve settled in, but I’m still working hard to get back into optimal shape. However, I have already made some progress and am not standing still.
Q: The first five races of the season are held in countries around the world. How do you stay strong and focused?
Kevin Magnussen: I was looking forward to coming back to these tracks and so far every race has been a joyful event for me. I’m still looking forward to the upcoming stages, both in Europe and beyond.
It’s nice to be back on track that I have fond memories of. I know some European tracks from performances in junior series. I look forward to returning to legendary tracks such as Silverstone, Monza and Spa. There are big fans there.
