Kevin Magnussen: 'McLaren chose me over Button. Then the shareholders overruled everyone'
Kevin Magnussen speaks openly about his struggles after losing his McLaren F1 drive in 2015 and the "unfair" pressure he had from the team
The Dario Franchitti podcast may have only just gone live, but we’ve already lined up our next one!
We wanted to record a preview to the Formula 1 season after the Australian Grand Prix (even the most experienced F1 team principals are still guessing who’ll be where following a few test sessions), so we scheduled one for the evening of Tuesday March 29. Editor Damien Smith then visited Sebring for the 12 Hours and bumped into one of his old friends, Allan McNish. I think you can guess where this is going…
Anyway, Allan said he’d be delighted to come to the Motor Sport office and chat about sports cars, Le Mans and even the upcoming/just started Grand Prix season.
The Scot is always great value, and his knowledge and forthright views on everything to do with motor racing is second to none. If you want to ask the two-time Le Mans winner a question then now’s the time… just click here.
