For 2014 McLaren will speak Kevin Magnussen

McLaren announced that next season the team’s combat pilots will be Jenson Button and 2013 World Series champion Kevin Magnussen. For Button, this will be the fifth season with McLaren, while Magnussen will replace Sergio Perez in the team. Kevin, the champion of Formula Renault 3.5 and the son of former McLaren racer Jan Magnussen, believes that working with experienced Jenson Button will be a serious help for him, thanks to which the Dane will be able to achieve the speed that he must demonstrate in Formula 1.

The first words of Magnussen in a new capacity were: “I am extremely happy to make my debut in Formula 1 with McLaren. I reason simply: this team is the best. Since childhood, I dreamed of playing for McLaren. I’m not exaggerating, saying that I dedicated almost every day of my life to achieve this goal, I have great respect for every member of the team and I can only say one thing: many thanks to everyone, especially Martin Whitmarsh and his senior comrades, for giving me this chance. I don’t disappoint guys! "

It is noteworthy that the Danish rider for two years has been a friend of the famous watch brand TAG Heuer. This watch manufacture has long been an official Formula 1 timekeeper. The rider’s helmet has a TAG Heuer logo, and a TAG Heuer Formula 1 Ceramic watch on his wrist.
