2024 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix Highlights

 

Haas F1 Team

 

MoneyGram Haas F1 Team scored double points finish with Nico Hulkenberg sixth and Kevin Magnussen eighth at the 2024 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix, Round 11 of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, held Sunday at the Red Bull Ring.

Sixth and eighth marks MoneyGram Haas F1 Team’s strongest result of the year and lifts the team up to seventh place in the Constructors’ Championship, on 19 points.

Nico Hulkenberg
It was one hell of a race, especially at the end when it got so intense. It was touch and go to keep Perez behind in the last two laps. He came by, but into Turn 3, I let him edge in front, so I got DRS, which obviously put me back in front. I’m very happy, that’s double points for the team which helps in a big way. I didn’t expect that, an amazing team performance, and I think it’s confirmed now that in the midfield on all different types of tracks we’re competitive, we can fight, and that’s really great news.

Kevin Magnussen

It’s been a smooth weekend – two qualifying sessions with no traffic, two good pit stops in the race, and the strategy spot on – I couldn’t have asked for more. We can’t count on this result as Silverstone is a hard track, but this puts us back to P7 in the Constructors’ Championship, and that makes me very happy for the entire team.

Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal

I’m just so happy for everyone on the team. Sometimes, we get unlucky, but today, our execution was amazing. Nico and Kevin drove well, and the pit stops were good. Everything was great. I’m speechless. I’m so happy that everyone got this result and that Nico beat Perez on merit. That’s a huge statement.
