Haas F1 Team

 

MoneyGram Haas F1 Team finished with Kevin Magnussen ninth – scoring two points, while Nico Hulkenberg retired, at the 2024 Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix, Round 23 of the World Championship, held Sunday at the Lusail International Circuit.

Magnussen started from 10th place on Pirelli P Zero Yellow medium tyres but lost a place on a frantic opening lap. Magnussen swiftly regrouped and passed Fernando Alonso and Yuki Tsunoda before resisting Pierre Gasly, holding ninth place through the opening stint. Magnussen pitted on lap 27 for White hard tyres, but the deployment of the Safety Car five laps later aided rivals who had yet to pit – the neutralization minimizing their time loss.

Magnussen dropped to 11th position but profited when Lando Norris was handed a stop-go penalty and then passed Alex Albon at Turn 1 to move back into ninth position. Magnussen maintained the position to the checkered flag, marking the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team’s ninth time in the points across the last ten races.

Hulkenberg started from 18th on the grid on hards, but his progress prospects were stymied after being caught up in a first-lap clash with Franco Colapinto and Esteban Ocon. Hulkenberg sustained a rear-left puncture and pitted for a fresh set of hard tyres, re-joining at the rear of the field.

Hulkenberg made up a couple of places before pitting on lap 32 for medium tyres and took the restart in the 14th position. Hulkenberg strived to make gains at the restart on lap 40 but spun through turn nine and beached the VF-24 in the gravel, bringing his race to an early conclusion.

Nico Hulkenberg
Turn one was messy; it was all happening very quickly, and it didn’t go well, but I didn’t have any damage so that I could continue. I had a long stint in traffic and was unlucky with the safety car as others got a free stop. At the restart, I lost it in a big way, in a high-speed corner, so it wasn’t our day. The weekend’s first half went well, while the second half didn’t. I think the performance in the car isn’t bad, but it’s close, and others around us have good performance, so now we need to reset and go again.

Kevin Magnussen

I’m super gutted that the safety car is coming out; it completely ruined the day for me. It was going well, and we had a good beginning to the race, but I just wish that safety car hadn’t come out because it screwed us. There’s still one race to go, and we’ll go into it and give everything.

Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal

Today, with Nico coming from P18, it would always be difficult, and unfortunately, we didn’t get anything. From his side, Kevin drove well again, but we just didn’t get the philosophy right. He was unlucky with the safety car, but we could’ve covered ourselves a bit better than we did today. The good thing is the deficit is only five points, and in Abu Dhabi, we really need to focus on getting both of our drivers into points-scoring positions. P8, and P9 – that’s six points – so it’s still all to play for, we need to learn from our mistakes, regroup and focus on doing our best in Abu Dhabi to try and get P6 back.
