Kevin Magnussen will have a different voice in his ears for the Belgian Grand Prix as Haas continue their search for a new race engineer.
“Then we have to quickly pack our bags and then get to the airport as quick as we can. “We change clothes in the truck, run to the car, drive as fast as we can to the airport, return the hire car, try to get some food at the airport but usually all that food places are shut and then you’re frustrated with that. “Finally, the race ends and then you think, ‘okay, it’s another spot where you can relax’ but no, we can’t relax, because we have to have the debrief,” Gannon said of the moments after a race. “Please note – For the Belgian, Dutch and Italian Grands Prix, the No.20 car of Kevin Magnussen will be race engineered by Dominic Haines,” Haas said in a statement, issued to PlanetF1. “Then we fly home land at 1am at Luton, then our van isn’t there and then we get home at 3AM or something and then we go to work on Monday to reflect on the weekend.” “Ed Regan has transitioned to an office-based role prior to his departure from the team towards the end of the season.
Kevin Magnussen says he likes the look of the changes that have been made to the Spa-Francorchamps circuit ahead of this year's Belgian Grand Prix.
It makes it simpler and also a little more challenging as pushing the limits will have a bigger risk, which is a good thing I think.” The run-off sections have been changed at Eau Rouge and Raidillon whilst new gravel traps have been added at other corners, in a bid to increase levels of safety, and Magnussen thinks that the changes will prove to be good thing: A number of big changes have been made in the past to try and open up the circuit and move the crash barriers further away, with more tweaks being made for the 2022 event.
