the Introduction to the brazilian grandprix weekend was a mess for Romain Grosjean, who struggled with both the car’s balance and get the run clean laps.

But from the second part of qualifying (Q2) stamped he really into and dominated his Danish colleague. The duo starts the seven and the nine with the help of Charles Leclerc motorstraf.

– Two hundredths from being the ’best of the rest’ is pretty good. And I am very happy that both cars are in Q3. It is Melbourne-the car, which we still use, so it is a great performance from the whole team, said the frenchman afterwards.

the Challenge for the team, as Kevin Magnussen also made a point of saying it – the weather and the rising temperatures on the field Sunday.

– today was a good day. 15 degrees higher asfalttemperatur for the race can be complicated. But right now we enjoy it just, says Grosjean, who hope to be pleasantly surprised.

– ’Race pace’ is our weakness. Friday was not so bad, but the conditions were not very representative in relation to Sunday. Banetemperaturen is going to rise, so I’m concerned. But it does not mean that I get right. Maybe I will be surprised, as I did in the day, he says.

– I think the whole team and the drivers did a fantastic job in qualifying to get the best out of the car. It was a great execution of a kvalifikationssession with some excellent laps. It is good for the whole team, and all have worked hard for it. We never give up.

– Hopefully we can get something out of Sunday, we try in every case, says Steiner.
