the Next season can’t come soon enough for Haas.
the Possibility was certainly present in the Brazilian Grand Prix, but very symptomatic for the 2019 season went mostly wrong for both Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, when it came.
the Worst of it was Romain Grosjean, who had an unlikely seventh place finish – or better – within easy reach, after what the frenchman even described as one of his best races of his career.
But at the worst possible time teased the hybrid system in the Ferrari-the engine. As the riders gathered for the restart after the first safetycar and the frenchman struggled with his well-worn medium tyres, fell the so-called MGU-K out, so that was missing vital horsepower.
When they came back, it was too late.
Like the one on the stage behind Carlos Sainz had Grosjean managed to get a one-stop strategy to function.
the Spaniard – on very used tyres – so its cut to to drop by with a cash overtaking and score what would eventually become an unlikely podium for McLaren.
Here was Haas-the driver at the mercy of.
team boss Günther Steiner was first and foremost a frustrated over the outcome in the hybrid system.
– And then pushed Sainz him, found he at his press conference in Brazil.
– the Car in traffic is not good, and then you just backwards and lose many positions. Only at the restart we had the MGU-K problem. It is simply mind-boggling. And earlier pushed Ricciardo Kevin of. It is pretty disappointing, he said.

– We know that the car has problems in the race. It is not news. All did their best with what we have, but it is as if there is always something happens to us when we least need it. While all the others are lucky, we are unfortunate.
– We could easily have struggled with Sainz, but when you lose four-five places at the restart is complete, when the tire cools, notes Steiner.
– With Kevin; guess what happens when we pitter to new tires during safetycar. Then there comes YET a safetycar. I am looking forward to, the season is over, and I hope that the next one will start different. Man creates his own luck, I know, but one begins to come into question, says Haas-the boss.

Romain Grosjean was on his compatriot Pierre Gaslys behalf of the first French podium in four years. On their own behalf, there was only disappointment and frustration.
– We were just unlucky. I was in the time of my life race and held on to seventh place in a car that didn’t deserve to be there. And then there’s a damn safetycar at the wrong time. The tires were down in the 70 degrees at the restart and tired after a long stint. And then pushed Sainz me wide, which I was not happy.
– the Strategy the whole time was a pit stop, while many others went after the two. It looked like the points until the safetycar, which would be great with this car. Honestly, it was one of my best races. But I knew we were finished when the safetycar came, he says.

Kevin Magnussen was not the best start, which is costly, when VF19’eren really needs clean air to operate in an honest manner. Still there were chances to end the race went completely crazy on the last laps.
– the Car is so hard to drive in traffic – also with new tires. I could not hang on; the others were just so much stronger at the re-starts. Also on the main street, where in particular the Toro Rosso was very quick, ” says the dane.
– It is a pity, for it felt like a missed opportunity for both the team and myself.
Nøglesituationen was, however, already a few laps after the start, when Daniel Ricciardo drove him. The judges gave the australian the blame for the episode, and he accepted their judgment without hernia.
I just think he fejlbedømte the little. He said sorry afterwards, so we have put behind us, ” says Magnussen.
