Kevin Magnussen says that in his three years of racing in Formula 1, he feels the most comfortable at Haas. The Dane joined Haas at the start of 2017 after previously driving for McLaren and Renault. He says that there is no big pressure to deal with inside the American outfit.
"There's less pressure, there's not a massive company that needs results right now," Magnussen said. “It's kind of more of an approach where you do everything you can and see what we get. Anything we get is positive. Any point, any result is massively positive.
"It's not that we have target to win races in two or three or four years, there's no such target like that so of course it would be nice to win, that's my target for myself in Formula 1, but Haas is a team that's new and excited to be here and every result is good."
Magnussen also feels that because Haas is a much smaller team with a smaller name in F1, there is more room to take risks in qualifying and races.
"I think for these smaller teams, they know they're not going to win, they just set out to do the best they can," he said. "That's more motivating for guys, gives them peace of mind to also take chances because some other teams have massive pressure so it's hard to get the people to think outside the box and take chances."

Who knows? Haas has potential, they just need to fix their brake issues and reliability problems.

To some extend I'll agree, but being in a team where fighting was going on between Fred and Arteboul was not very attractive. And they only offered a 1year deal. But a factory team is always the best in the long term.
