New Haas driver Kevin Magnussen is looking forward to the the 2017 Formula 1 cars which will have more grip and more power while relishing the prospect of teaming up with Romain Grosjean.
Magnussen said in an interview, “I’m a driver that, if I have a problem, it’s most of the time because I’m over-driving. I naturally tend to overdrive the car. And these new cars will probably suit that better than less downforce. So, I’m looking forward to it.”
“It’s going to be fun to try. If our expectations are true, then they’re going to be the fastest Formula 1 cars ever, probably, so that would be exciting.”
Magnussen spent 2016 as teammate to rookie Jolyon Palmer at Renault, and while praising the Briton he admitted that he is looking forward to partnering Grosjean.
The Dane said, “I learned from Jolyon last year, but from Romain I’m sure I’ll learn more, because he’s an extremely fast racing driver. Jolyon is fast as well, but Romain is also very experienced.”
“I prefer to have an experienced team-mate. It’s good for the team but it’s also good for me as a driver to have someone that I can really learn from,” added Magnussen.
