Romain Grosjean believes Haas have "the fourth-fastest car on the track"
F1 News
Romain Grosjean believes that Haas are the fastest midfield team despite the fact that they are currently sitting 6th in the constructor's championship, behind both McLaren and Racing Point. The American team have struggled to get their cars tyres in the right temperature window and have not had as much success as was expected at the start of the season.
“Now we’ve got a clear idea of what we need to do in terms of tyres,” Grosjean said to motorsportweek.com. “We’ve been working really hard, so we know exactly where the window is. Now the question is how to bring the tyres into that window. I think we’re getting better and better at that.
“Things should get a bit smoother, and I still believe we’ve got the fourth-fastest car on the track.”
“The midfield this year is super, super tight,” said Grosjean.
“Three-tenths of a second in qualifying can put you in P6 or P7 or even P15. It’s very exciting. It’s a good challenge for the drivers. You’re pushing to the limit all the time."
Haas will hope that they have fixed the issue they have had with tyres this season and they can maximise their potential for the rest of the season.
