Kevin Magnussen Joins BMW LMDh Program

Kevin Magnussen has officially joined BMW as a factory driver for its LMDh program, which is set to compete in the 2025 season following his departure from the Haas team. Although the specific series he will race in has yet to be announced, BMW's participation in the World Endurance Championship and IMSA SportsCar Championship suggests a focus on prestigious endurance events. Magnussen brings valuable experience to the team, having previously raced in sportscar events, including a season with Chip Ganassi Racing and participation in the famous Le Mans 24 Hours.

This transition comes just ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which could mark Magnussen's last appearance in Formula 1. He has expressed pride in joining BMW and is looking forward to the challenges posed by racing innovative endurance cars. Meanwhile, there are discussions about maintaining a connection with Haas in the future, although it will not involve competing next season. BMW Motorsport boss Andreas Roos has confidence in Magnussen's potential to elevate their program, while Magnussen himself is eager to embrace this new chapter in his racing career.
