MoneyGram Haas F1 Team finished with Nico Hulkenberg 12th. At the same time, Kevin Magnussen retired at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Round 21 of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, held Sunday at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace.
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team returned to the tenth position in the Constructors’ Championship.
Kevin Magnussen
I got a perfect start, and then I think Albon squeezed Nico. They had contact, which sent Albon into me like a chain reaction. It is what it is; you’ve got to move on to the next race and the next race in Las Vegas.
I look forward to that.
Nico Hulkenberg
It was a typical start situation where it got too tight there, and it was very similar to what happened to me in the Sprint in Qatar; I got sandwiched. You can’t bail out then, so I contacted Albon, putting him into Kevin. It was unfortunate, but there wasn’t much we could do. There was damage, but the red flag allowed us to repair it, so the car was fine; there was just no performance this weekend.
Guenther Steiner, Team Principal:
Having a crash at the start involving both of our cars shows which side Lady Luck is on currently. In the race, after Kevin retired, Nico was trying to do his best with the tires throughout the race, trying to find a way around the degradation we had with our car. I think he did his best, and in the end, P12 was the best we could do.
