Magnussen working on Le Mans-team with his father Jan

Haas driver Kevin Magnussen has revealed that he's working on potentially having a team with his father, former F1 driver Jan Magnussen, to compete in endurance races like Le Mans and Daytona.

At 25 years of age, Magnussen has finally really broken through in F1, as he has been at the front of the midfield-battle with Haas this season. Despite a disappointing outing in Singapore, where he got overtaken in the standings by McLaren's Fernando Alonso, the Dane has been a positive surprise this season.

According to reports coming out of Denmark, K-Mag's father Jan, a former McLaren and Stewart driver back in the 90s, is looking at a deal with the Corvette works team to let him partner up with his son at endurance races like the 24 Hours of Daytona and Le Mans.

"Corvette can see the potential of a father and son team at Le Mans," Jan Magnussen told BT.

"But they need a team for four races and the problem is that Kevin can only do the two 24 hour races because the other two coincide with Formula 1.

"I'm trying to make them change their mind so that Kevin can do the two."

Kevin, who still has six races to go this season for Haas, added that it's indeed something he's interested in, but also stated that it wouldn't be coming to fruition in the immediate future.

"We are working on it, but not very seriously," K-Mag said.

"I don't think it will happen in 2019."

Haas F1 owner Gene Haas commented that he wouldn't mind Magnussen doing endurance races, as long as it wouldn't interfere with his F1 duties.
