As Kevin Magnussen took part in what could be his last Formula One race, a clip of his bossy three-year-old daughter instructing him to sign a fan's notebook has resurfaced online.

After seven years behind the wheel, the 32-year-old finished in 16th place for F1 outfit Haas at the final race of the year, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday (December 8).

The Dane has been competing at the pinnacle of motorsport since 2017, and in that time he has welcomed two daughters, the first being Laura - born in 2021, while Agnes was born last year.

Speaking before the race, his wife Louise hijacked the radio before the race - where he bowed out with the fastest lap. She said: "Congratulations, honey, on your last race.

"I love you. Welcome home to me and the girls.”

His daughter Laura was present at his final race, but earlier in the season she stole some hearts herself when a fan uploaded a video to TikTok of her telling her dad to sign a fan's autograph book.

Writing over the video, the user typed: "When Magnussen's daughter sees that her father doesn't sign my notebook and goes to take it from shirt [sic] to him sign it."

The little girl tugs on Magnussen's shirt and points at the fan, instructing him to sign something for her - and hilariously she even scoots up to them to check that he's done it before appearing to blow a kiss to the fan.

Taking to Reddit yesterday (December 11), one person qualified: "This was from earlier on in the season. But there were some cute Magnussen family moments at the final round last weekend, which was his last in F1.

"His daughter helped him put his gloves on before the race and his wife spoke to him on the radio after the race."

While responding to the TikTok, one user typed: "If he doesn't have a seat im gonna miss laura so much."

"That is too precious, I think she has him wrapped around her little finger lol," a second commented.

While a third quipped: "She like u better go sign that right now over ill be fussing tonight lol."

A fourth added on the social media platform: "The fact that she goes to check and make sure that he did."

Back in September, Magnussen had to sit out the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after surpassing 12 penalty points, and ahead of the following race he was eligible for in Singapore, he joked that he was ready to 'f*** s*** up'.

He said: “A little extra bonus weekend off with the family. So, in many ways, nice to have that little surprise holiday.

“I let [Haas] know before the race that if there's anything, I'm here ready to help out with advice or input or whatever. I switched off completely. It was a nice weekend off for me. You get punished, and then you come back, and you're like all ready to... f**k s**t up now!”
