Magnussen will act as McLaren's test and reserve driver for the upcoming F1 season and has said he is fully-concentrating on helping McLaren and hopes to impress the team to win back his race seat.

"Although, I was disappointed to not be selected for a McLaren-Honda race seat for 2015, I've put it behind me and I'm now fully focused on the yeaꦦr ahead," Magnussen said. "My aim is to return to a Formula 1 race seat as soon as possible, s♔o I'll be giving it 100 per cent both on track and off it. I want to build on my last year's experience, to show what I know I'm capable of and to reward the McLaren-Honda team's faith in me by keeping me on board."

The Danish driver also said he hopes to play a vital part in🧸 the development๊ of McLaren's all-new MP4-30, which has just been unveiled.

"My new role as McLaren-Honda's test and reserve driver is a really important responsibility, and I'm determined to prove my abilities and show what I can do not only on track, but♔ also behind the scenes in the simulator, analysing the data and giving valuable feedback to the engineers."

"Our fight back to the front of the grid is ou💫r main focus, so it's going to be down to me to work really hard to dev🦄elop the MP4-30 and make a real difference to its performance in Fernando Alonso's and Jenson Button's hands."

Alonso willꦑ🍒 debut the new car on the opening day of the first official F1 test which begins on Sunday in Jerez.
