Magnussen, who finished up his F1 career in 2024 racing for the Haas F1 Team, hopes to be in the mix for the win this weekend at Daytona. The BMW M Team RLL Hybrid V8 team of Magnussen, Phillip Eng, Raffaele Marciello and Dries Vanthoor are on the pole for this year's 24 and a favorite in the GTP class.

Kevin Magnussen, a veteran of more than 180 Formula 1 Grands Prix, has joined BMW M Motorsport’s L.M.D.h. program in sports cars. “I’ve always had a passion for, you know, all sorts of motorsport races, and with the BMW deal that allows me to go and explore and try and win some of these big classic endurance races,” he said.

Kevin Magnussen will continue to remain part of Haas as a test driver, the team have confirmed. Magnussen was dropped by the American outfit after the 2024 F1 season, with team boss Ayao Komatsu opting for an all-new driver line-up.

Komatsu did not disclose who else might serve as reserve drivers for Haas in 2025, but the responsibilities are expected to be shared among Magnussen, and the Toyota affiliated drivers Ritomo Miyata and Ryo Hirakawa, despite the latter being Alpine's reserve driver.

After much speculation regarding what Kevin Magnussen's role will be with the Haas Formula 1 team in 2025, Team Principal Ayao Komatsu has confirmed what capacity the Danish driver will remain with the American outfit.

Kevin Magnussen, despite transitioning to the IMSA championship, will maintain an active involvement with the Haas Formula 1 team, according to team boss Ayao Komatsu. His experience and insights will likely contribute to the team's development and performance in the 2025 season.
