Jolyon Palmer is surprised Kevin Magnussen opted to join Haas rather than sign a one-year extension at Renault, calling the decision a mistake.Palmer has been confirmed at Renault for another year after Magnussen turned Renault down to join Haas. Though Magnussens decision meant Renault then turned to Palmer, who will partner Nico Hulkenberg in 2017, the Englishman thinks the Danish driver has made a mistake leaving a manufacturer team.When asked if it perturbed him to know Renault offered a deal to Magnussen first, Palmer replied: Im surprised to hear that, to be honest. I think if Renault turned to Kevin then hes made a mistake to turn it down because I think theyll be ahead of Haas next year.Its a manufacturer team going places. If you get the choice to go to Red Bull for one year its better than going to Toro Rosso for two years. Im not sure thats definitely the case, but anyway I dont care because Im in the seat for next year and nothing changes for me. So its fine.Magnussen has explained that he would have been more willing to stay at Renault if it had been prepared to offer him more than a one-year deal. He also took exception to how many people Renault had talked to -- joking that even the pope had been a contender for a seat at one point -- without keeping himself of Palmer informed of the situation.When asked if he had also been offered a one-year deal, Palmer said: Yeah but I have an option for the future. I need to do a good job next year, its understandable for Renault that next year they want to still see how I can do against Nico.But I have an option for the future, I believe in myself and in my opinion the car is going to strong next year - stronger - and then its up to me to do a good job and then I have an option with Renault for the future. So I believe in myself, do a good job and then Ill be part of the future.When told about Palmers comments at his own media session shortly afterwards, Magnussen referenced the deal he turned down and said pointedly: I think he should be happy that I left, honestly. He went on to stress his belief Haas can challenge Renault under the new regulations in 2017.?
