McLaren, Kevin Magnussen will leave the team at the end of the year

A little seduced and abandoned, launched into the fray in 2014 with the reputation of a rising star, Danish Kevin Magnussen is preparing to end his adventure with McLaren. Kevin, starter in 2014 and formally participating in the 2015 Australian GP, ​​has a podium to his credit with Woking in Melbourne, to which however is added the regret of not having continued his adventure in F1. In 2015, the Danish talent – ​​with Jenson Button reconfirmed and the arrival of Fernando Alonso – reluctantly had to settle for the role of third driver.

McLaren has confirmed its current driver pairing for 2016, and Magnussen is forced to take a different path from that of the team that raised and launched him. The Danish son of art is evaluating some options to get back into the fight, but there aren't that many seats. Few glimmers of hope in Haas, with Gutierrez still expected to be made official alongside the confident Grosjean. The situation of the Manor (powered by Mercedes in 2016) is more interesting, still at sea in the choice of drivers. The Renault (today still Lotus) hypothesis is fascinating, with Magnussen taken from Enstone to support Pastor Maldonado.
