I think it’s so cool to see the cross over & have drivers like Kevin & Mick get an inside view of our world in #NASCAR & you can truly see they appreciate & respect our world. Just as we admire what they do & at the end of the day we are all RACE fans of all the series.

gotta love KMag’s racing spirit. Shows up for some NASCAR tests and a fun media day and is immediately like “I want to drive this and we will figure out the rest as we go”.

I think he’s smiling more because these cars are just like undriveable bricks on wheels. Enormous engines, little grip. A hand full as you can see from the driver.

How was the Haas F1 duo’s NASCAR experience?
The F1 duo visited their American base to get the taste of NASCAR. However, K-Mag and Mick were scared to get in the car, but they were also thrilled about the new experience. But the Dane asked his younger teammate to go for the thrill ride together. He said, “Let’s do it together,” and Mick agreed with Kevin.

At first, the NASCAR pros gave both the drivers a hot lap to teach them the ways of NASCAR. Then Kevin and Mick went together for a spin in the Haas NASCAR car. But, the two drivers mentioned the differences in the weight, downforce, and braking of the F1 and the NASCAR cars.

After K-Mag took Schumacher for a spin, the young German said how scared he was during the first two laps. Mick said, “I was scared for my life, the first two laps.” It seems even the Danish man noticed the fear in his teammate. Kevin said, “I thought you were.” But eventually, they both said it was enjoyable.
