The team’s offer to Magnussen is “not better than Haas”

Kevin Magnussen said that he had got an offer to continue in Formula One for 2021 from a team “not better than Haas,” which is thought to be Williams.

Haas decided not to renew the Danish driver’s contract at the end of the 2020 season, hence he exited Formula One. For 2021, the American team has opted for an all-rookie partnership of Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.

Magnussen and his former teammate Romain Grosjean, who was also let go by Haas, will not be returning to the grid in 2021, instead focusing on opportunities outside of Formula 1.

Magnussen will race for Chip Ganassi Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, while Grosjean has stated that he is in “discussions” about a move to the IndyCar Series.

Magnussen, on the other hand, has revealed that he was offered a driving with a team “worse than Haas” to stay in Formula One.

Given that Haas finished ninth in the 2020 Constructors’ Championship, the offer must have come from Williams, who finished tenth, scoring zero points for the first time in their constructor history.

“I can not say who it was, because maybe someone is angry. It was a team that is not better than Haas, so it is not difficult to imagine”, Magnussen is quoted by Soymotor.com as having told Danish magazine Dossier.

“Although I had a chance to stay in Formula 1, I did not have the motivation to continue that way. I would have liked to continue if I could have won with any of the big teams.”

Magnussen finished second in his debut race in the 2014 Australian Grand Prix, however that was his lone podium of the season. Magnussen had hoped to challenge for the title after the podium finish in 2014.

“It’s hard to know how things are going to go,” Magnussen previously said.

“When I started my F1 career in Melbourne 2014, I had pretty high expectations.

“I thought I was going to be fighting for the championship in my first year after that first race.

“You can’t ever predict how things are going to go in Formula 1. You’ve just got to do the best, and enjoy it while it lasts.”
