Everyone loves a good comeback story and when it comes to one of the most loved drivers on the grid, the reception they receive is just that much more special. That is the story in 2022 of Danish Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen. Until 2020, K-Mag was a mainstay in F1 at Haas for quite a number of years before being ‘wrongfully’ axed by the team due to financial trouble in 2020. Nobody blames Guenther Steiner, however. The team was in economic ruin at the time and something had to change. Fast forward a couple of years and K-Mag is back where he belongs, and it was like he never left. The Dane alone scored more points than the Haas in the entirety of the 2021 and 2022 seasons within the first four races. His exploits in 2022 have already made Haas look like a mid table team and things are only looking upwards from now on both for his team and himself.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Haas’ contract with Russian driver Nikita Mazepin was terminated. For the 2022 season, Magnussen returned to the team as his long-term replacement, partnering with incumbent driver Mick Schumacher. Magnussen made his Haas debut in Bahrain, starting seventh and finishing fifth, one of just five top five finishes in the team’s history.

Louise Gjorup is the wife of Kevin Magnussen, a Danish racing driver. They are parents to a child together. Louise and Kevin keep a low profile when it comes to their marriage. Magnussen’s new wife is shrouded in mystery. Louise has kept her employment and career a secret from the public. She prefers to keep her private life hidden from the public eye. On October 10, 2019, Magnussen and Gjorup married. After the Mexico Grand Prix in October 2018, Magnussen announced that he had proposed to Louise.
Kevin Magnussen has a daughter, Laura. In an interview, the Danish driver had said that being a father has made him a calmer and more composed F1 driver. “[Being a father] changes everything a little bit. It opened my eyes to what life is like outside of F1,” he said. “It also a new [feeling] when I’m in the paddock or about to get in the car, it doesn’t feel as important somehow. Not that it’s not important to me, it’s super important, but it’s not as… scary, in a way. Before I had a lot of fear being in F1. Fear of losing my seat, not performing, like, what’s gonna happen to me if I’m not in a Formula One job anymore? Because if I don’t do well today, I’m out. All of that has changed. It’s more easy, more relaxed.”
Louise Gjroup is on Instagram, where she has 3.5k followers and barely posts once in a while, but she is a regular in the paddock with her fiance. On October 10, 2019, Magnussen and Gjorup married. “One month with the most important, loving, caring and absolutely perfect husband! Love you and a big thanks to @kharlundcopenhagen! He is going races with the ring,” she had posted on her Instagram after their marriage.
