Grosjean: “We want to cry”

Haas' double retirement F1 Team was a turning point at the Australian GP, ​​the interruption of the race occurring around halfway through the event allowing Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) to take hold of the head in front of Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).

The VF-18s were at the foot of the provisional podium until they went to the pits. The two American single-seaters had to stop on the track, each time due to a loose wheel.

“Something went wrong when stopping and the wheel was loose, confirmed Romain Grosjean at the microphone of Canal+. This is obviously a problem that needs to be resolved. I feel sorry for the French fans. When you lose a fourth or fifth place, the return promises to be long. I think I could have stayed in the leading group, but we lose around 22 points in the Manufacturers' Championship and it's difficult. We try to get the stops done in less than three seconds. Right away we want to cry, but we will be happy if we are in the same rhythm in Bahrain (April 8). »
