Kevin Magnussen completes shock F1 return with Haas
Kevin Magnussen has completed a stunning return to Formula One with former team Haas as Nikita Mazepin's replacement.
Denmark's Magnussen, 29, raced at Haas for four seasons between 2017 and 2020 before he and Romain Grosjean were dropped in favour of Mazepin and Mick Schumacher in 2021.
Magnussen's F1 career appeared to be over at that point, and he has raced in IndyCar, IMSA and the World Endurance Championship since, but Haas' decision to cut ties with Mazepin and title sponsor Uralkali opened up an unlikely opportunity for the Danish driver.
The signing was confirmed on Wednesday, on the eve of the second preseason test ahead of the new F1 season.
