Kevin Magnussen 🔜says he is “pretty relaxed” abou🤡t his racing future coming into the second half of the 2024 season despite facing a likely exit from Formula 1.

The 31-year-old has lost his place at Haas for the 2025 season, after the American squad elected to sign Esteban Ocon and Fer𓆉rari junior ꦚOliver Bearman in a refreshed line-up.

With space on the 2025 F1 grid limited and ⛄the remaining seats earmarked for others, one-time podium fini⛎sher Magnussen is unlikely to remain in the series beyond this year.

Asked if his future plans were any clearer ahead of this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, Magnussen said: “No, not really. I mean, I have some ideas about♈ what I’m going to do. But no news to share and nothing to 🥂announce.”

He went on to add that he is not a𒈔pproaching the second half of this season as if it’s his last in F1, while noting that he feels he has nothing left to prove as a driver after a decade in the series.

“I think I’m approaching this♎ second half of the year like any other part of the yea𒀰r,” he said.

“I’ve been in the sport for so long I don’t thin♌k there’s anything ♎to prove.

“I’ve shown over 10 years what I am as a driver, and I c🍰an’t really change that in half a year.

“So, I’m pretty relaxed🐟 about it an🐭d looking forward to whatever comes next year.

“There are o🐎ptions for me and whatever happens I’m going to enjoy the rest of this year not matter what. Let’s see what happens.”

Magnussen i𒈔s keeping his cards close to his chest on what his options for 2025 are and didn’t rule o🍬ut a testing role when asked if racing was his priority.

“The priority is to spen🅰d my time after this year on something that I think is fulfilling and something that I’m happy with,” he added.

“So, that could be many things. Formula 1 is on🦩e of them.”

H⛎aas comes into the second half of the 2024 season seventh in the constructors’ table and just seven points behind RB.

While Magnussen thinks beating RB to sixth will be difficult, he feels Haas has a good chancওe in at least giving the Italian outfit 💦a good fight.

“No, not really, but it’s possibl🥂e,” he said when asked if he was confident Haas could get sixth in the standings.

“They are within r⛄ealistic distance froℱm us performance-wise and points-wise.

“That’s what we should go for. I think we have a chance. It’s probably more likely than not the𝓰y are going to outperform us in the second half.

“But you don’t know what kind of developments 🍃they will bring and if they’ll work and that sort of stuf𒊎f.

“So, I think there’s a reali▨stic chance we can fight them. If you look at the first half of the season they’ve been stronger than us, but only by a bit. So, I think there is a chance.”
