168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen ꦡhas admitted he might not secure a Formula 1 stay next year.

The Haas driver is one♋ of many on this season’s griౠd with an expiring contract and an uncertain future.

With seats in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 F1 driver line-up at a premium, Magnussen knows he might miss out.

“Yes. There is a chance that that will happen,” heജ was quoted b♊y .

Magnussen insisted: “I want to be in Formula 1.

“That’s what I’m concentrating on. Only when all the doors are close♒d will I look for something else.”

Magnussen has been dropped from F1 before - in 2014, after his rookie season with McLaren, he was droppe🧜d as a full-time dri🌟ver in 2015 before returning with Renault a year later.

“In th♉e past, when I was younger, something like this would probably have stressed me out more,” he said.

“I would have felt the pressure more.

“But now I’m able to put it aside quite well, just get꧅ in the c🐭ar and do my best.”

Magnussen has scored just one point in nine rounds, whereas teammate Nico Hulkenberg has scored seven and been crediꩵted as an overperformer.

Hulkenberg has secured his 2025 ♊future with Sauber.

Haas, as a result, have considered giving Ollie Bearman his first fu෴ll-time ꧋seat.

Esteban Ocon, who is exiಞting Alpine, is a confirmed🔯 target for Haas boss Ayao Komatsu.

Magnussen insisted: “I am a much stronger driver than last𓆏 year.

“I found it difficult to adjust to the ca🧔r, especially in qualifying.

“That is much easier for me this year. But it just didn’t go my 🌞way in a lot of situations.

“I’ve ha🌱d traffic so many times. Seco💃nd lap in Q1 or Q2, then suddenly a problem, or a poorly managed out-lap, something like that.

“Or, if we had a good race, the safety car☂ comes at the wrong🐻 time.

“It’s ꧒just one of those years where you always seem to have a head🍃wind.

“Let’s take Imola. Suddenly a McL🐽aren c🐷omes out of the pits in front of me, and can’t even start its lap. How can you predict that?

“It costs me a good starting position. In the ra✃ce, the pace is fantastic and I almost ma꧃ke it into the points.

“Without the bad luck, I wo🍎uld 🐓have started near the top 10.

“And would definitely have scored points.”
