Racing lines: How Kevin Magnussen's F1 return created a different comeback story
Another Lazarus act was playing out that weekend, generating fewer headlines despite being directly linked to Magnussen’s F1 return.
Both drivers must have relished a satisfying sense of redemption when they awoke the following morning. Unlike Magnussen, Jani never quite made it to F1, hitting the ceiling as a test driver for Toro Rosso . But he’s one of those drivers who commands respect despite never having started a grand prix.
failed with just three minutes on the clock in 2016 – the year in which he also became a WEC champion, Jani was called up to lead the line with André Lotterer, surely with those stellar A1GP days in mind. But while Lotterer remains, Jani was replaced by Pascal Wehrlein after just one season in 2019/20, and he has since fallen back on GT racing.
That’s why Jani’s last-minute pitch into the Caddy seat and how he played his part in a cherished victory in one of sports car racing’s ‘majors’ could prove vital to extend an already long and varied career. After Sebring, his route back into the premier class of sports car racing might just have become a little clearer.
