Grosjean: “We could score points almost anywhere”

In terms of accounting, the start of the 2017 season Haas F1 Team remains below the expectations of the American structure, particularly in comparison with the situation compared to 2016.

After three races last year, Günther Steiner's men scored 18 points thanks to Romain Grosjean, when Haas F1 Team has only accumulated eight units this season with two eighth places for the Frenchman and his new teammate Kevin Magnussen.

On the other hand, Romain Grosjean remains rather satisfied with the performances displayed by the car from Kannapolis, North Carolina. “It was good to score points in Bahrain, underlines the former Lotus driver.

Obviously we deserved it, since the first race, in fact. I think the most encouraging fact so far is that the car works well everywhere we have been.

So now we're going to Russia, which was a bit difficult for us last year. We will see if we have progressed and if the car works well on each type of circuit. If so, then we could score points just about anywhere. »

The challenge of overtaking

In addition to this observation, Romain Grosjean admits to being rather delighted with the fights offered by the new single-seaters, created via the new technical regulations introduced this year.

“I think overtaking is definitely more difficult than in the past, which is maybe not a bad thing, says Grosjean.

You have to be a little more creative when trying to overtake. It's pretty nice. Again, overtaking on some tracks is going to be very tricky, and on others it won't be. »
