[Saba Sports News] According to LWOS, Danish driver Kevin Magnussen has caught the attention of the Sauber F1 team with his strong performances at the US Grand Prix and the Mexican Grand Prix. In recent months, Valtteri Bottas and Gabriel Bortoleto have been the strongest contenders for Sauber’s seat. However, due to Franco Colapinto’s outstanding performance with Williams, he has also attracted Sauber’s interest. In recent weeks, Magnussen has made himself a reasonable candidate for Sauber’s seat. Unlike Colapinto, Magnussen is not restricted by an existing contract, making it much less complicated for Sauber to sign him. Since the US Grand Prix, Magnussen’s performance has become increasingly active. He finished seventh at the Mexico City Grand Prix, scoring points for Haas, and throughout the weekend, he was faster than his teammate Nico Hulkenberg. At the US Grand Prix, if it weren’t for a team strategy issue, Magnussen could have even finished in the top ten. Some fans believe that Bottas and Bortoleto represent a battle between experience and youth, and now with Magnussen’s addition, Sauber has another option.
