Grosjean: “Best Friday in a while”

Both Haas completed the first day of the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo with 10 places apart. Kevin Magnussen was in fact three tenths faster than his sidekick Romain Grosjean on a fresh track.

In his defense, the Frenchman was slowed down by a problempine mechanical. “We had a problem with the car which we only discovered at the end of the second session. This is why there is such a difference with Kevinhe justifies.

 

Regarding the race pace, I'm quite happy. We are going to work, repair what happened on the car to be sure to get back into the match. »

Despite this setback, the former Lotus driver is very satisfied. « It’s the best Friday in a while! Here, there are always very good sensations piloting. Interlagos is one of my three favorite F1 destinations. 

I love the height difference and the character of the circuit like the bumps. When you make a mistake, you pay for it immediately. I appreciate that. »

Romain Grosjean, however, is less smiling when it comes time to look ahead to qualifying and the race. “The concern we have is that we are announcing a track temperature 25 to 30 degrees warmer than today (Friday). 

We know it's not going our way. We cannot control the weather, the high temperatures cause problems keeping the tires within the window of use because the car is not good enough overall. It's like in Austin or Mexico. There is no reason for there to be a miracle »he concludes.
