Kevin Magnussen was in a race against time ahead of the Brazilian GP – not on the track, but through the skies and across borders. ‘Where in the world is Kevin?”, the Interlagos paddock buzzed late on Thursday.
Just days after insisting his hands were “fine” following a big crash in Mexico, the Danish driver was then noticeably MIA at Interlagos on Thursday. Skipping the FIA press conference when summoned by the FIA is a big no-no.
Haas team boss Gunther Steiner, however, was trying not to panic, revealing that his driver had simply been swept up by travel turmoil.
“I texted him and he was somewhere in Mexico and now he’s flying here via Colombia. He told me he was flying over Bogota,” he said.
Then, the airwaves went silent. Steiner quipped: “No news is currently good news.”
