Kevin Magnussen says in an interview with a motor sports magazine, which fought the career during his formula to live up to unrealistic expectations, especially in his debit season with McLaren in 2014. Years.

From the beginning, he became associated with the performance that delivered in his first Formula 1 race in 2014. year, where as the so-called Rookie managed to reach the stand in Australian Grand Prix.

He never managed to live up to that position in his next 187 formula 1 Grand Prix for McLaren, Renault and Haas.

Magnussen today says he fought with massive internal pressure from expectations in the British team McLaren.

Today he finds that he felt not to be treated quite compared to drivers like drivers Lewis HamiltonWho was a partner with Jenson button in McLaren from 2010. by 2012. years.

“I remember Jonathan (Neale, General Manager) and Eric (Boullier, Racing Director),” Lewis was an average of 0.15sec in the qualification, so we keep your drive for the next year. “

“I accepted it at that time, but looking back, it was unfair.

“Lewis and Jenson were the world champions of F1, far more experienced than they were, and I was told me that I was not good at Rookie, as Lewis was in his third, and I was crazy – and he was also crazy.

“Now I wish I got up for myself. I was naive. But in my defense, I was a F1 new boyfriend. Inevitably, that the unfair weight of expectations of the share of unnecessary pressure on me and I started making mistakes.

“It was a ridiculous set of expectations to push on 21-year-old Rookie. I had a speed, but I was supposed to support mentally and emotionally, and the higher management of McLaren on the racing side offered the opposite side.”

Dane was driving the last race of Formula 1 career last December for HAAS. Today drives for BMW at the World Durable Championship.
