The season’s first qualification has just been concluded and Haas couldn’t have asked for a better start. Kevin, who returned in F1 this season, couldn’t have returned in a better way. The team, the drivers as well as the fans are all jubilant.
Kevin clocked an impressive 1:31.955 in Q1 with P5 placement. From there on, he qualified in P7 with 1:31.461 in Q2. The best came for the Danish international as he clocked 1:31.808 in his Q3 performance.
What does this mean for Kevin Magnussen and Haas?
This will give the American team a huge boost ahead of their 2022 season. If Kevin can finish from where he will start tomorrow, the all-important 6 points can be bagged by them. Mick Schumacher, another Haas driver Mick Schumacher, to start from P12 on the grid tomorrow.
A big shout to Mick too 💪
