One of Kevin Magnussen's best racing moments in the current season that now stands at the brink of conclusion came in Spain, the home race for Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz Jr.

It was here at the Spanish Grand Prix that Magnussen managed a fighting P6, one of the four finishes inside Top 6 for the Dane this year.

While the race utterly belonged to the eventual 2018 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, there were some who had to contend with tough luck, for instance, Kimi Raikkonen, Esteban Ocon, Nico Hulkenberg, Pierre Gasly, Romain Grosjean, and Stoffel Vandoorne- all of whom race retired.

But on the other hand, scoring the only points for Haas, Kevin Magnussen drove home 8 valuable points. In so doing, he collected a handy P6 - an effort critically lauded for his interesting battles with the two Spanish drivers, Carlos Sainz Jr., and Fernando Alonso - both of whom he defied in the end by holding onto sixth.
