Kevin Magnussen: “Looking forward to opening this new chapter”

What does theEndurance ?

Le Mans, it’s the biggest Endurance race in the world, the race that everyone wants to win. This is an event with a huge history. Peugeot wrote part of it and I hope to be able to add a few lines. My father competed at Le Mans for over 20 years. I have always followed the race and been there myself on several occasions. I'm really looking forward to this new chapter.

What did you learn in F1 who could be of use to you?

During these seven years that I spent in F1, I gained a lot of experience working on complex and advanced cars. I also learned to deal with pressure, which will also be the case at Le Mans and in WEC.

You have just returned from the 24 Hours of Daytona, your first Endurance race. What did you think?

I had a lot of fun. It was brand new for me, I discovered traffic in particular. This was my main challenge, but I got used to it quickly. I also had to learn to work with other pilots. But I enjoyed it and I can’t wait to do the same with the drivers here.
