F1: Top five moments of Kevin Magnussen's 2018 season

A hat-trick of finishes at the European circuits

F1 Grand Prix of France - where K-Mag was impressive

Of late, it's been seen that the start of the European season marks the championship with some rather interesting battles and surprises.

For some reason, where the last two seasons stand, it may not be entirely incorrect to state that while Mercedes, (read Lewis Hamilton) seem utterly in control of the Asian leg of the championship by exploding to great form right at the beginning of the conclusive part of the season, it's the likes of Ferrari (read Vettel) who seem authoritative during the European leg of the year.

But scripting another interesting parallel during this time in the world championship, one saw Haas driver Kevin Magnussen contest some nicely-fought races and emerge with a hat-trick of points finishes where his efforts at France, Austria, and Britain stood.

While at Les Castellet, he would bag a P6, he'd go one better at Spielberg in going P5 before collecting another finish inside points by virtue of a P9 at Silverstone.
