Dennis: “Magnussen has the characteristics of a champion”

Magnussen he is a potential champion. He's certain of it Ron Dennis who was impressed by the Dane's performance on his debut in the Circus and did not hide his admiration.

“Kevin has all the ingredients necessary to win the world championship even if to do so he will have to have a competitive car – declared the boss of bosses McLaren at Autosport – It's true that we only saw him in one race but I have no doubts about his character, commitment and concentration. He is definitely prepared for any kind of sacrifice. I can only congratulate him because he did an excellent job, he didn't do anything wrong and he followed all the instructions, always pushing hard. I think we couldn't expect anything more considering the complexity of the new rules and the pitfalls of qualifying with the mix of dry and wet. It wasn't easy to decide to give him this chance, but from the results we can say that it was the right choice."
