Q3 “It’s crazy!” For the first time in 3 years for Haas

Kevin MagnussenQualifying: 7th, FP3: 7th

It’s crazy. This is exactly what we wanted. There are no words.

The last two weeks haven’t been sane. I came here and learned regarding the car and found it to be a pretty good car, but I was very worried regarding what the qualifying would be like.

In Q2, I used only one set of tires and proceeded to Q3. I think he was regarding 4th in the first run, but he finally passed in 7th.

After that, some troubles occurred and it took time to fix, so I might only run Q3 once. Still, I was able to get 7th place. It’s the coolest. I can’t wait for the start.


The 2022 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix final race will start at 24:00 on Sunday, March 20, Japan time, competing for 57 laps at the Bahrain International Circuit, which is 5412m per lap.
