Rejected F1 Driver Denies He Will Stoop So Low As To Drive IndyCar
Rejected F1 Driver Denies He Will Stoop So Low As To Drive IndyCar-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:28

Poor Kevin Magnussen. After getting by McLaren Formula One and ultimately on his birthday, he’s been floundering around the back of the grid in a Renault. Things are bleak! But Kevin insists that they’re not “move to IndyCar” bleak. No, no. Never.

For 2016, IndyCar team Andretti Autosport successfully lured away Alexander Rossi from years of on backmarker Formula One teams to a great result: Rossi the Indianapolis 500. Could they be looking to rescue another young Formula One racer—K-Mag—from Backmarker Purgatory? That’s what one rumor roundup says.

Worse yet, Magnussen’s F1 ride for next year has been put into question ever since Renault announced that they’d signed away from Force India.

Kevin’s father Jan raced in American open-wheelers (in CART) in addition to F1. Is it time for Kevin to try out IndyCar, and possibly pull a Rossi by winning one leg of motorsports’ Triple Crown?

Kevin says no.

While we admire Magnussen’s enthusiasm, we all know that his #NeverGiveUpOnTheDream hashtag.
