On the second day of testing in Bahrain, Kevin Magnussen was back behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car following a year-long hiatus – and was immediately ahead of Mick Schumacher – and everyone else …
Kevin Magnussen: “It’s great to be back behind the wheel of Formula 1 and in my old team – today everything went well. The first series of laps I adapted to the speed of Formula 1, but otherwise I did not have the feeling that I was leaving somewhere.
At the end of the day, I once more felt the pain in my neck muscles, but this was predictable. Tomorrow I will warm them up even better to be in good shape for the start of the season.”
Mick Schumacher: “Unfortunately, due to some problems, we drove less than expected, but still worked with the car – now I have driven it for more than a hundred laps!
I hope to go more tomorrow. Now the main thing is to ensure reliability, but everyone in the team is looking forward to the start of the season.
