In the wake of Haas terminating the contract it had with Nikita Mazepin, the American-owned outfit made it a priority to sound out Magnussen about whether or not he would be up for a return to grand prix racing as the Russian’s replacement.
Kevin Magnussen said he had found closure with Formula One – but admitted the opportunity to return was too good to resist.
The preparations for the new Formula 1 season are underway, and away from the sidepod controversy, there is plenty going on in the background in Bahrain. The first round in Barcelona gave the teams the chance to identify their major strengths and weaknesses, and now they are in the Middle East as they attempt to refine their designs and practices.
The Haas team was able to send out a car for the second session of Bahrain testing Day 1, after missing the first. Haas had freight problems which meant that they were awaiting a delivery to be able to get their car out on the track on Friday, and they did not receive the goods in time for the first run, meaning just nine drivers were out in force in the morning.
Preparations for the 2022 Formula One season continued on Wednesday as pre-season testing got underway at the Bahrain International Circuit.

"I'm delighted to welcome Kevin Magnussen back to Haas F1 Team," said Guenther Steiner, the Haas team boss.
