Magnussen is still hoping for a seat for 2016

Fired by email from McLaren on his twenty-third birthday as could happen in the best tragicomedies Kevin Magnussen he hasn't lost hope of finding a seat for next season.

“I'll try one in November Porsche and I'm really anxious to do it because it's been a long time since I drove a racing car – the Dane declared to local broadcaster TV2 – I'm still not sure but they are looking for a third driver for Le Mans since Hulkenberg won't be able to be at the start to coincide with F1, so I will have to try to give my best and convince them."

Then on the divorce from the Woking team he continued: “Having two world champions available like Alonso and Button, the management preferred not to change the lineup. However, since the beginning of the season I had communicated that I was not interested in tester or reserve roles. Nonetheless, it was not easy to accept the decision. I am currently in discussions with other F1 teams. I don't know when I'll be able to have a definitive answer. I just hope to be able to be present in Melbourne in March."
