Kevin Magnussen has been married to Louise Gjørup since 2019 and the couple are parents to two daughters. They welcomed their first child, Laura, in January 2021.

Earlier this season, the Danish couple welcomed their second daughter, Agnes, in July. Magnussen shared the news of the birth of his second child on social media and wrote:

"Laura is now a big sister 👶🏼 Welcome to the world Agnes," he wrote on social media accompanied by photos of Laura with her sister. "We love you so much ❤️ @logjorup You’re a superstar."

Max Verstappen fires back at Kevin Magnussen after Las Vegas GP comments

Reigning three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen criticized the glitz and glamor surrounding the Las Vegas GP, calling the event '99% show and 1% sport'. The Dutchman's criticism of the inaugural Las Vegas event continued throughout the weekend.

Kevin Magnussen, however, didn't agree with Verstappen's assessment and reckoned the 26-year-old should have kept his comments to himself.

"It’s fine to have an opinion. Maybe you should keep it for yourself. At the end of the day, we’re all on pretty good salaries, living a good life, and that’s all because of this. So at the end of the day maybe we should show a little bit more appreciation", he told RaceFans during the Las Vegas GP.

Replying to the comments made by Haas F1 driver, Max Verstappen said it was not about salaries and that one should make their opinion clear for the betterment of the sport.

"It’s always very easy to say: ‘You can’t complain. Look how much money you make. Who gives a f*** about how much money you make? It’s about saying what you think and what you think is right or is necessary to take care of the sport." he told The Telegraph during the Abu Dhabi GP.

Despite being critical of the track layout, Max Verstappen took the checkered flag to record his record-extending 18th win this season. Magnuess, meanwhile, sits in 19th with three points on the board.
