McLaren driver Kevin Magnussen wanted to make the most of his time away from F1, and race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with his fater Jan.
The young Dane lost his drive at McLaren when the team gave refuge to Fernando Alonso, and deseperately wants to race, as testing opportunities are rare in F1. "I asked my Dad if he would ask Corvette if there was an available seat there," he revealed. "That would be really cool to do, be teammates with your Dad at Le Mans and try to win the class, but they had already signed the drivers for the car. So unfortunately that doesn’t look like it’ll happen this year.
"I got the call quite late that I would not be racing in Formula 1, so a lot of the doors were closed already. The options are very limited, but I’m also not completely sure if racing something else is the best thing to do when you want to get back to F1." And for now at least, racing with Manor, which only confirmed Will Stevens, is not an option. "I think it would be wrong to say no completely, but it is not what I am looking at," Magnussen added. "We haven't talked to them. It is not like we are jumping at it. "We are thinking of everything, it's difficult to know what is the best thing for getting back to F1." Recent Articles
