“By telephone,”👍 he replied when asked how he was informed of the news.
“Well, I think, you know, I've been with this team since the very beginning of Haas' time at F1, and I feel very much a part of the family,” Magnussen said. “It's going to be strange to leave the team at the end of the year, but everything comes to an end, a🌠nd, you know, it's still quite early in the season.
“Haas have gone ahead and wants to secure the drivers for next year early enough, and, you know, there's still seats available, so that's unde♒rstandable and fine by me.”
Haas have enjoyed a strong first half of the 2024 🅺F1 season,𒁏 sitting seventh in the F1 constructors’ championship, just four points behind RB.

Magnussen✃ conceded he would have liked to stay at Haas to see the “fruits” of the♕ recent momentum.

“Yeaꦅh, definitely,” he responded when asked if he’s spoken to other teams.
“Of course, Carlos is still holding up all that process, but eventually it's going to move. So,🦄 🃏right now, I think the best thing is just to focus on doing good races and then up being contention for these seats available, and things will fall into place eventually.”
He concluded: “I know a lot of 🦋people outside. When do you go into the box of, now I'm exploring. I just talk to people. I'm in touch with everyone.
“Even when I knew I had a contract in Formula 1, the next year I was still talking to people. So it's just like, I talk to p🌼eople of course, but it's not like I'm in contract negotiations with anyone or anything like that.”
