Haas F1 Team
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team drivers Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg placed 12th and 16th respectively at the 2024 Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix, Round 1 of the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
Magnussen started from P15 on the grid on Pirelli P Zero Red soft tyres and made gains on the opening lap to run in P12. Magnussen ran a two-stop strategy, pitting on lap 12 for White hard tires, before pitting again on lap 33, taking on another set of the harder compound.
The Dane preserved P12 through to the checkered flag, holding off a spirited challenge in the final laps from the RB driver pairing of Ricciardo and Tsunoda.
Hulkenberg took the start from P10, also on soft tires, but his race unraveled at Turn 1 following contact with Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll. Hulkenberg was forced into a first-lap pit stop, in which he took on a new front wing and hard tyres, leaving him out of sync for the remainder of the race.
The German stopped on lap 21 for a second set of hards and pitted once again on lap 43 for softs. Hulkenberg came home P16 in a race in which all 20 starters reached the finish line.
