He has been the sole source of Haas' points so far this season but Kevin Magnussen came away from China disappointed to have only added a single point to his 2018 tally. The team have taken a huge step forward this year as have their expectations.
Kevin Magnussen believes his Haas team could have earned a better result at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Magnussen finished tenth scoring a solitary point to add to Haas' constructors' championship points. He has been the only source of points for the team with Romain Grosjean not showing the same kind of form since the opening round in Australia.
