Magnussen was a Haas driver from 2017 until the end of the 2020 season.

    Magnussen
    drove for Haas again in 2020, this time alongside Grosjean. The first two rounds of the championship at the Red Bull Ring were challenging for Magnussen and Haas because the Haas VF-20 was slow. Magnussen placed third in the early stages of the Hungarian Grand Prix, courtesy to a tactical choice made before the start of the race. While he eventually slipped back throughout the race, he managed to finish eighth. After the race, it was decided that Haas had violated team radio regulations by instructing both drivers to pit at the end of the formation lap, and Magnussen was penalized ten seconds. This dropped him to ninth place, and Magnussen scored his and Haas' first point of the season. Magnussen retired after a power unit failure in the Italian Grand Prix and was rear-ended in a multi-car crash in the Tuscan Grand Prix, marking his fifth retirement in nine races.
