Kevin Magnussen will have no problem having Nico Hulkenberg as his 2023 F1 teammate at Haas despite previous tensions between the pair.
The choice of Hulkenberg is intriguing because he and Magnussen, who is under contract for 2023, have had their moments of controversy in the past.
Most famously, back at the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix, Magnussen told Hulkenberg to ‘suck my balls’ after they came to verbal blows following a late-race battle for a points-scoring position., there is unlikely to be any lingering tensions. And Magnussen himself is clear that having someone alongside him with the kind of experience that Hulkenberg has would be a positive thing.“Actually I respect him as a racing driver. I don't really know him as a person. But certainly as a racing driver, I've always respected him. So I would have no problem.
"But I don't have an opinion on whether or not he should be in the second car. Mick is doing a good job at the moment. He had some issues in the beginning of the year and a few crashes but he is certainly faster now.”
