He may be a second-generation F1 driver – following his father Jan onto the grid – but Kevin Magnussen idols are from the ‘golden era’ of Grand Prix racing when the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss risked it all for the love of the sport.

The Roskilde racer’s own prowess was proven on debut for McLaren, who guided him through the junior ranks, when he cruised into the top-three at the Australian Grand Prix, becoming the first Dane to claim a podium in F1.

Other champagne moments have been more difficult to find, but after a season with Renault, Kevin Magnussen is now at home at Haas, where he feels he has found kindred spirits at a real racing team.
