Kevin Magnussen to replace Sergio Perez at McLaren next season
KEVIN MAGNUSSEN has been confirmed as Sergio Perez's replacement at McLaren for next season.
Perez announced in an open letter to fans on Twitter yesterday that he would be leaving the team after just one year with them.
He said: "It has been an honour to have been in one of the most competitive teams.\
"I’ve always given the best of me and, despite this, I could not achieve what I aimed for in this historic team.”
Magnussen has some pedigree as a development driver, with McLaren taking on a rookie.
McLaren are fifth in the Constructors' World Championship.
