Kevin Jan Magnussen (Danish pronunciation:[ˈkʰɛ.venˈjanˈmaw.nus.n]; born 5 October 1992), also known simply asK-Mag, is a Danishracing driver who competes in theFIA World Endurance Championship forWRT and theIMSA SportsCar Championship forRLL as afactory driver forBMW. Magnussen competed inFormula One from2014 to2024.
Born and raised inRoskilde, Magnussen is the son of four-time24 Hours of Le Mans class-winner and formerFormula One driverJan Magnussen. Graduating fromkarting tojunior formulae in 2008, Magnussen won his first championship at the 2008Danish Formula Ford Championship. He then finished as runner-up toAntónio Félix da Costa at theFormula Renault NEC in2009, and toFelipe Nasr at theBritish Formula 3 International Series in2011. Progressing toFormula Renault 3.5 in2012, Magnussen won the championship thefollowing season withDAMS.
A member of theMcLaren Young Driver Programme since 2010, Magnussen signed withMcLaren in2014 to partnerJenson Button. He finished second on his Formula One debut at theAustralian Grand Prix, scoring his maiden podium finish and becoming the highest-finishing debutant sinceJacques Villeneuve in1996. Replaced byFernando Alonso for2015, Magnussen continued at McLaren as a reserve driver, substituting for Alonso at theseason-opener. Magnussen completed a stint atRenault in2016, before competing withHaas from2017 until the conclusion of the2020 season, finishing a career-best ninth in the2018 World Drivers' Championship. In2021, Magnussen moved to theIMSA SportsCar Championship withCadillac, winning theDetroit Classic; he also contested one round of theIndyCar Series withArrow McLaren, as well as the24 Hours of Le Mans withHigh Class.
Magnussen returned to Haas in2022 to replaceNikita Mazepin, achieving his maidenpole position at theSão Paulo Grand Prix. He retained his seat in2023 and2024, becoming the first driver since former teammateRomain Grosjean in2012 to receive a race ban after the latterItalian Grand Prix, before departing at the end of the season. Magnussen achieved one pole position, three fastest laps and one podium finish in Formula One. He holds theFormula One record for themost career starts without leading a lap (185). Magnussen returned tosportscar racing in 2025, joiningBMW as a factory driver.
Kevin Jan Magnussen was born on 5 October 1992 inRoskilde, Denmark. Magnussen is the son of former Formula One driverJan Magnussen. His cousinDennis Lind and his half-brother Luca Magnussen are also racing drivers.
Magnussen lived inWoking,Surrey, near theMcLaren Technology Centre whilst racing for McLaren.[1] In 2019, Magnussen married Louise Gjørup in a private ceremony.[2] They have two daughters, the first one born in 2021 and the second one born in 2023.[3][4] He lives inCopenhagen with his family.[5]
Magnussen began his career inkarting.
In 2008, Magnussen made the step up toFormula Ford in Denmark, taking eleven victories from fifteen races and winning the championship.[6] He also took part in six races of theADAC Formel Masters series.[6]
Between participating in Formula Ford in 2008 and unexpectedly securing sponsorship for Formula Renault in 2009, Magnussen was forced to abandon his racing career and work as a factory welder due to lack of funding.[7]
In 2009, Magnussen moved up toFormula Renault 2.0 withMotopark Academy. He finished runner-up toAntónio Félix da Costa in theNorthern European Cup and finished seventh in theEurocup.[6]
In 2010, Magnussen competed in theGerman Formula Three Championship with Motopark Academy, winning the opening round of the season atOschersleben and taking two more race victories. He finished third in the championship, taking the rookie title in the process.[8]
In 2011, Magnussen moved to theBritish Formula 3 Championship withCarlin.[9] He took seven race victories and finished as championship runner-up to teammateFelipe Nasr. He also competed in theMasters of Formula 3 race atZandvoort, finishing third. 2011 marked Magnussen's first and only appearance at theMacau Grand Prix. He placed seventh in qualifying, but was forced to start from the back of the grid in the qualification race after ignoring yellow flags.[10] He started the main race from nineteenth place, but was eliminated after a high-speed collision late in the race.[11]
Magnussen moved up to theFormula Renault 3.5 Series in 2012 with the Carlin team, withWill Stevens as his teammate. Magnussen finished the opening race atMotorland Aragón in second place, and tookpole position in both races atSpa-Francorchamps, converting the second into a race victory. He ended the season in seventh place in the championship. He remained in Formula Renault 3.5 for2013, moving toDAMS alongsideNorman Nato. 2013 was far more successful for Magnussen, claiming five victories, eight other podium places and eight pole positions. He finished the season as champion, sixty points clear of runner-upStoffel Vandoorne.
A member of theMcLaren Young Driver Programme from 2010 to 2013,[12] Magnussen had his first experience of theMcLaren MP4-27 Formula One car on track at the Abu Dhabi Young Driver test in 2012. He set a quickest time of 1:42.651. Previously he had done work in the team's driving simulator.[13] Magnussen's time was the best of the three-day test impressingMcLaren's sporting directorSam Michael. The distance he covered in the course of the test was sufficient to earn hisFIA Super Licence.[14]
Magnussen would drive for McLaren for the2014 season, replacingSergio Pérez.[15] In line with a new rule introduced for the 2014 season requiring drivers to choose a car number to use during their Formula One career, Magnussen raced with number 20 as this was the number he had on his DAMS car in 2013 when he won the Formula Renault 3.5 championship.[16]
At the Jerez and Bahrain pre-season tests he topped the timesheets, and at the first race inAustralia, he qualified in fourth position.[17] In the race itself, Magnussen avoided crashing at the start after his car encountered oversteer through wheelspin.[18] After passingLewis Hamilton's ailing Mercedes in the early stages, Magnussen maintained position to take a third place finish; he finished 2.2 seconds behind Red Bull'sDaniel Ricciardo.[19] As a result, Magnussen became the second Danish driver – after his father Jan, who was sixth at the1998 Canadian Grand Prix – to take a points-scoring finish, the first Danish podium finisher and the first debutant, since Hamilton at the2007 Australian Grand Prix, to take a podium in his first Grand Prix.[20][21] After the race, Magnussen described the result as "like a victory".[22] He was later promoted to second place in the results, after Ricciardo was disqualified due to fuel irregularities,[23] making him the first rookie to finish second sinceJacques Villeneuve at the1996 Australian Grand Prix.[24] Magnussen recorded eleven further points-scoring finishes throughout 2014, the majority being ninth or tenth place finishes; although he recorded seventh place finishes inAustria andGreat Britain – circuits where he had prior experience from junior formulae – and a fifth place finish inRussia.
Fernando Alonso replaced Magnussen for the2015 season and Magnussen became the test and reserve driver for McLaren.[25] Magnussen had talks with Honda-powered teamAndretti Autosport to compete in the2015 IndyCar Series, but McLaren blocked the deal.[26] Magnussen competed in one race, theAustralian Grand Prix after doctors advised Alonso to not race due to a concussion sustained during an accident during pre-season testing.[27][28] However, Magnussen failed to start the race after suffering an engine failure on the formation lap.[29] Magnussen was released from McLaren at the end of the year.[30]
After being released by McLaren, Magnussen was confirmed to have been in discussion to drive for theHaas F1 Team, beforeRomain Grosjean andEsteban Gutiérrez were named as the team's drivers.[31] Magnussen had reportedly also been in talks about a seat atManor Racing.[32][33] Magnussen tested aMercedesDTM car,[34] andPorsche'sLMP1 car,[35] hinting that he may have had options outside Formula One, includingIndyCar, where he was believed to have entered talks withBryan Herta Autosport about a drive.[36]
In early 2016 unconfirmed reports emerged that Magnussen was set to replacePastor Maldonado atRenault following a breach of contract between Maldonado and the team. Renault had purchased theLotus F1 Team and were returning to the sport after a four-year hiatus.[37] Renault later confirmed Magnussen had joined their2016 campaign, partnering rookieJolyon Palmer.[38]
Magnussen's early season was marred by a string of incidents. He suffered a puncture on the opening lap inAustralia and went on to finish twelfth. He was forced to start from the pit lane inBahrain after failing to stop for the weighbridge in practice. He then crashed in practice for theChinese Grand Prix after a tyre failure and could only finish the race in 17th. Magnussen collided with teammate Palmer inSpain and received a ten-second time penalty, then crashed in practice inMonaco before colliding withDaniil Kvyat in the race. He was forced to miss qualifying inCanada after again crashing during practice,[39] and started from the pit lane inAzerbaijan when his car was modified underparc fermé conditions. TheRussian Grand Prix was an exception to these incidents; after qualifying seventeenth he came back to finish seventh in what would eventually be Renault's best finish of the season.
Magnussen had a gearbox failure in the closing laps of theBritish Grand Prix. He suffered a high-speed crash at the Eau Rouge–Raidillon complex whilst running eighth at theBelgian Grand Prix, causing minor injuries and bringing out thered flag.[40] Magnussen claimed his second and final points-finish of the season with tenth place inSingapore. Two more mechanical retirements came before the end of the season; power loss inMalaysia and suspension damage inAbu Dhabi. Magnussen finished the season in sixteenth place in the championship, scoring seven of Renault's eight points that season.
Magnussen signed a contract withHaas for2017, joining Romain Grosjean and replacingEsteban Gutiérrez.[41]
Magnussen retired from his first race with Haas inAustralia with reported suspension failure, however it later emerged that he had actually suffered a puncture and that his retirement was unnecessary.[42] He scored points with eighth place at the following race inChina before retiring with electrical problems inBahrain. He was running ninth inSpain but made contact withDaniil Kvyat late in the race, causing him to fall to fourteenth with a puncture. He would claim a point with tenth place at the next race inMonaco, in what was Haas's first ever double points-finish. At theAzerbaijan Grand Prix, Magnussen had run as high as third towards the end of the race in the uncompetitiveVF-17, but eventually finished 7th in what would be his best result of the season.
A string of seven races without points followed. This included a hydraulic failure inAustria, engine issues inSingapore, and an incident inHungary where he forcedNico Hülkenberg off the track, damaging Hülkenberg's car and forcing him to retire. Hülkenberg confronted Magnussen after the race, branding him the "most unsporting driver on the grid" to which Magnussen replied "suck my balls".[43] Magnussen ended the season with two eighth place finishes inJapan andMexico, but collided with formerFormula Renault rival Stoffel Vandoorne inBrazil, causing both cars to retire.
Magnussen ended the season fourteenth in the championship with nineteen points, nine points short of teammate Grosjean.[44][45][46]
Magnussen retained his seat at Haas for the2018 season.[47] TheHaas VF-18 was a vast improvement on its predecessor, enabling Magnussen to compete at the front of the midfield. At the opening race inAustralia, Magnussen lined up fifth on the grid, Haas's highest ever starting position.[48] He had run as high as fourth, however both Haas cars would retire from the race after their wheels were fitted incorrectly during their pit stops. Magnussen then finished fifth inBahrain, his best result since the2014 Russian Grand Prix. At theAzerbaijan Grand Prix he collided withPierre Gasly, who criticised Magnussen's defensive driving and branded him "the most dangerous guy" he had ever raced with.[49]
Magnussen scored valuable points again with a sixth place finish inSpain. Another sixth place came inFrance, followed by fifth place inAustria behind teammate Grosjean, the team's best ever race result. More points finishes soon followed with ninth inBritain, seventh inHungary and 8th inBelgium. At theItalian Grand Prix, Magnussen clashed for position withFernando Alonso in qualifying. Magnussen later commented that Alonso "thinks he's God" and "I can't wait for him to retire".[50] Magnussen collided withSergio Pérez during the race, damaging the Haas's floor and eventually causing Magnussen to finish last of the running cars in 16th.[51] Similar woes came inSingapore, when he failed to progress out of the first part of qualifying and he struggled to overtake during the race, finishing eighteenth. However, he set the fastest lap of the race after a late pit stop for fresh tyres, his and the team's first fastest lap.[52][53] Magnussen then qualified fifth and finished eighth inRussia.
More controversy came at theJapanese Grand Prix, whenSauber driverCharles Leclerc called Magnussen "stupid" over the radio after his attempt to pass the Haas resulted in contact.[54] Magnussen received a puncture, which damaged his floor and forced him into retirement. He finished theUnited States Grand Prix in ninth place, but was later disqualified after his car was found to have used more than the legal limit of fuel.[55] Magnussen ended the season with two more points finishes, ninth inBrazil and 10th inAbu Dhabi.
He finished the season ninth in the championship with 56 points, his best ever finish and nineteen points clear of teammate Grosjean.

Magnussen continued to drive forHaas for the2019 season alongside Grosjean.[56] TheHaas VF-19 proved uncompetitive and became more so as the season went on. The car often performed well during qualifying but suffered during the race. At the first race inAustralia, Magnussen finished sixth in what would later turn out to be his best finish of the season. He finished thirteenth at the next three races, despite having qualified in the top-ten in two of them. He recorded another points finish inSpain, finishing seventh.
Poor finishes followed at the next five races. InAustria, Magnussen showed the strong qualifying pace of the VF-19 by qualifying in fifth, before a gearbox penalty dropped him to 10th on the grid. During the race he was found to have over-stepped his grid line at the start, receiving a drive-through penalty and eventually finishing the race in nineteenth place. InBritain, Magnussen and teammate Grosjean made contact on the first lap, causing race-ending damage for both drivers. Both were blamed and criticised for the incident, at a race in which Grosjean was testing the old spec of the VF-19 so that the team could understand their recent lack of pace.[57]
Magnussen next scored points at the rain-affectedGerman Grand Prix, finishing tenth before being promoted to eighth after theAlfa Romeo drivers were penalised post-race for the use of driver aids. He retired inItaly with a hydraulics issue, before setting the fastest lap at the next race inSingapore, a feat he had achieved at the same race in 2018.[58] He was not awarded a point for this as he finished in seventeenth place—a driver must finish in the top ten to be awarded a fastest lap point. A ninth place finish inRussia would be his fourth and final points finish of the season. His third retirement of the season came in theUnited States when he suffered a brake failure on the penultimate lap.
Magnussen finished the season in sixteenth place in the championship with twenty points, twelve points ahead of teammate Grosjean.
Magnussen continued driving for Haas in2020, again partnering with Grosjean.[59] The opening two rounds of the championship at theRed Bull Ring proved to be difficult for Magnussen and Haas, as theHaas VF-20 was off the pace. In the early stages of theHungarian Grand Prix, Magnussen was running third, thanks to a strategy decision at the beginning of the race. Whilst he ultimately fell back throughout the race, he managed to cross the finish line in ninth. After the race, it was determined that Haas had broken rules regarding team radio in telling both drivers to pit at the end of the formation lap, and Magnussen was given a ten-second penalty. This demoted him to tenth, and Magnussen claimed his and Haas' first point of the year. Magnussen suffered a power unit failure at theItalian Grand Prix and was rear-ended in a multi-car accident at theTuscan Grand Prix, his fifth retirement in nine races.
Magnussen and teammate Grosjean departed the team at the end of the 2020 season,[60] to be replaced withFormula 2 championMick Schumacher, as well asNikita Mazepin for the 2021 World Championship.[61]
Following theRussian invasion of Ukraine, Haas terminated its contract with their driverNikita Mazepin. Magnussen returned to the team as his replacement on a multi-year deal, partnering existing driverMick Schumacher for the2022 season.[62] In his return for Haas at Bahrain, Magnussen managed to start seventh and finish fifth, scoring one of only five top five finishes in Haas's history up to that point.[63] In the2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he made it into Q3 and qualified tenth. He later turned that into a ninth- place finish, securing Haas consecutive points for the first time since 2019.[64][65] Magnussen finished tenth at Silverstone with his teammate Schumacher finishing eighth giving Haas a first double-point finish since Germany 2019,[66] and the pair would continue this run by scoring points again in the following round inAustria, despite the Dane experiencing engine issues during the race.[67] At the2022 São Paulo Grand Prix, Magnussen took his and Haas’ first pole position in Formula One. Magnussen qualified first afterGeorge Russell spun at turn four, bringing out a red flag during which track conditions deteriorated meaning no driver could set a faster time than before the crash.[68] Magnussen became just the second driver in F1 history to set a pole for a non-Ferrari team using a Ferrari engine, fourteen years afterSebastian Vettel did so forToro Rosso at the2008 Italian Grand Prix. He would ultimately finish the sprint race in eighth position, and would retire from the Grand Prix on the opening lap following a collision withDaniel Ricciardo.

Magnussen partneredNico Hülkenberg for the2023 season. Magnussen struggled with the car, theHaas VF-23, as the car did not perform well with Magnussen's preferred driving style.[69] Additionally, the VF-23 had poor tyre management, causing both drivers to lose time relative to rivals over the course of the race, although this issue was managed better by Hülkenberg. Magnussen struggled with qualifying relative to his teammate, although he qualified strongly at theMiami andSingapore Grands Prix (fourth and sixth respectively),[70] and finished in points paying positions three times over the course of the season, achieving tenth place at theSaudi Arabian, Miami and Singapore Grands Prix, for three points to teammate Hülkenberg's nine.[71] Magnussen summarised the season by stating "There's not been any great highlights [...] there have been races where I've been extremely happy with [tenth], which, you know, just shows what kind of season we've had."[72]
Magnussen and Hülkenberg were retained by Haas for the 2024 season. Magnussen finished twelfth in the season opener inBahrain, then finished eleventh inSaudi Arabia, but received two ten-second time penalties. He finished tenth inAustralia with Hülkenberg in ninth scoring Haas's first double points finish since the2022 British Grand Prix. He crashed on the opening lap of theMonaco Grand Prix where he collided with Sergio Pérez; the impact was judged to be a racing incident. He had a great start on the opening lap of theCanadian Grand Prix in fourth place but losing time in the pitstop on lap eight; he finished twelfth behind teammate Hülkenberg who was in eleventh. He finished seventeenth in theSpanish Grand Prix. He finished eighth in the2024 Austrian Grand Prix and helped guide teammate Hülkenberg to sixth.
Ahead of theHungarian Grand Prix, Magnussen announced that he would leave the team at the end of the season.[73] Magnussen finished 9th during theItalian Grand Prix, but was given a ten-second time penalty for causing a collision with Pierre Gasly, dropping him to tenth. This also meant that with the accumulation of penalty points in his Super License earning him a one-race ban, Magnussen would be forced to miss theAzerbaijan Grand Prix, with his future replacementOliver Bearman substituting for him.[74] Magnussen was the first driver since his former teammateRomain Grosjean in 2012 to be banned from a Formula One race.[75] His race ended at the2024 Singapore Grand Prix when he hit the wall on lap fifty and suffered a right-rear puncture, retiring from the damage.[76] He finished 7th in the Mexico City Grand Prix, his best finish since 2022.[77] Magnussen was unwell ahead of the2024 São Paulo Grand Prix and was replaced once again by Bearman. Magnussen was originally due to miss only practice and the sprint before taking part in the Grand Prix,[78][79] but would later have to sit out the entire weekend to allow a full recovery.[80]
In January 2025,Ayao Komatsu confirmed that Magnussen would continue to be linked to Haasthat season as part of the team's testing of previous cars programme and asToyota's simulator driver thanks to the technical partnership that Haas has with the Japanese brand.[81]
Magnussen tested for Porsche in aPorsche 919 Hybrid in November 2015, onCircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.[82] No contract was made since Magnussen continued in Formula One forRenault in 2016.

Magnussen competed in theWeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2021, driving the No. 01Chip Ganassi RacingDPi car alongside Dutch driverRenger van der Zande.[83] On 12 June, he won his first race at theDetroit Grand Prix.[84] Magnussen concluded the season with four straight podium finishes and placed 7th in points.[85]
On 23 April, it was announced that Magnussen would drive the No. 49High Class Racing LMP2 car with his fatherJan Magnussen andAnders Fjordbach in the2021 24 Hours of Le Mans.[86] He classified 29th in the overall standings and seventeenth in the LMP2 class.[87]
On 8 February 2021, it was announced that Magnussen would be a part of the driver line-up forPeugeot Sport in the2022 FIA World Endurance Championship season.[88][89]
Magnussen competed in theWeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2022, as third driver in the No. 02Chip Ganassi Racing DPi car alongsideEarl Bamber andAlex Lynn, but was released from his contracts with Peugeot and Chip Ganassi Racing after returning to Formula One with Haas in 2022.[90]
Following the Formula One season finale at the2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it was confirmed that Magnussen would race alongside his father Jan at the2022 Gulf 12 Hours at theYas Marina Circuit, during the final round of the2022 Intercontinental GT Challenge.[91] Magnussen qualified 15th on the grid for the race and subsequently finished seventh place overall, less than a second behind sixth after a clean race.
Magnussen was confirmed to compete alongside his father in the2023 24 Hours of Daytona in a newPorsche 911 GT3 R, run by MDK Motorsports, the same team that ran his Ferrari in the Gulf 12 Hours.[92] However, he withdrew from the event a week prior due to necessary hand surgery.[93][94]

Early December 2024,BMW M Motorsport announced Magnussen would become a works driver for theirLMDh program.[95]This marked his firstWeatherTech Championship appearance since the 2022 Rolex 24 at Daytona. His first race with the team was theRolex 24 at Daytona, whereBMW M Team RLL finished fourth.[85][96] BMW is yet to announce where else Magnussen will be racing in 2025.[85]
