🗣️ 'Now suddenly I find myself in a bit of a pickle' Kevin Magnussen feels the development of the Haas F1 car has pushed it away from his 'inherent driving style' and turned his strengths into weaknesses ⬇️
Kevin Magnussen admits he is in a “pickle” now the 2023 Haas Formula 1 car has been developed away from his “inherent driving style” to turn his strengths into weaknesses.The Dane qualified 19th for this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix while team-mateMagnussen blamed a 0.511s gap in Q1, when both cars were running with hard tyres under the experimental Alternative Tyre Allocation, on his discomfort aboard the VF-23.
He says that as the car has evolved, he has struggled to find consistency in low-fuel and new-tyre conditions as the handling has moved away from his natural driving style. “[I’m] struggling to find consistency with this year's car,” said Magnussen. “For some reason, I'm struggling a bit on low fuel, new tyres to extract the maximum out of the car.
“Lots of inconsistency for me and as you've seen in FP3, I had purple sector one and then I'm the slowest on sector two, so going very extreme there.Magnussen added that he was content with his long-run pace. However, this has been a particular weakness of Haas this season owing to its struggles to understand and manage tyre wear over a race stint.
“Nico is obviously seeming to extract more out of the car [over] one lap, new tyres. And then on high fuel, it's different story. So, it's a bit of a confusing one. But I'll work on it.”
