Live soccer game Kevin Magnussen: Maybe Hulkenberg and I will become best friends, but there is no need for this
Kevin Magnussen is not worried about his relationship with new teammate Nico Hulkenberg.
The drivers quarreled after the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix, when Hulkenberg called his colleague the most unsportsmanlike driver on the grid, and he responded by offering to lick his balls. The drivers did not communicate until the first race of the 2022 season in Bahrain, where Nico replaced Sebastian Vettel in Aston Martin. Magnussen and Hulkenberg will drive together for Haas in 2023.
We`ve never been close in the past or anything. But in Bahrain we met at the airport and, one might say, we talked for the first time [since the 2017 incident]. Many people think that there is some kind of friction between us, but this is really not the case.
I don`t think it`s necessary to be best friends. That is, who knows, maybe we will become best friends, who knows! But I don`t feel pressure to build relationships outside of the track.
I respect him as a driver and I guess that`s all that matters. Now I recognize him as a person, before there was no such opportunity. But it is not important. I am confident that we will work well together as partners on and off the track, " said the Dane.
