Haas have announced that Kevin Magnussen is to replace Nikita Mazepin after the Russian was dropped by the US driving team earlier this week. Following mounting pressure to sack Mazepin amid his country's invasion of Ukraine, the decision was eventually made to let the 23-year-old go.

This meant Haas were left searching for a second driver to take part in the new season alongside Mick Schumacher.

It looked at one stage as though Brazilian reserve Pietro Fittipaldi would get the call-up.

But it has now been confirmed that Magnussen is to return for a second stint at Haas, who he raced for between 2017-20.

A statement read: "Haas F1 Team has signed Kevin Magnussen to drive alongside Mick Schumacher in the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship in a multi-year contract agreement with the Danish racer.
