on Top of a better Friday than the Haas team have had a long time, there’s a tricky decision for Kevin Magnussen and the dane’s engineers.
In the first place informed the team that both Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen in Russia should use the so-called hybrid version of the VF19’eren, which is based on the original Melbourne-breeds, and that the team now has available to both its drivers.
Yet decided the team to send the dane out in the latest specification (what we call the Hockenheim series) to Friday’s trainings. Team manager Günther Steiner indicated already in Singapore, that it was a good idea, because this car had been quite honest during the race.
Seen from the outside, there was no clear answer on which of the cars that was the best in Sochi, although judging from the drivers ‘ comments were a hybrid version.
– It was actually a pretty good day. I was a tier in the first training, but did not set a lap in the second practice on soft tires. I had some challenges and made the ride height as low as possible, causing locked wheels, says the frenchman.

– Anyway, I think it was a good day. Løbsfarten so not bad out, and the car felt okay. We also did a little aero tests today, changed the frontvinge and the kind of. We are working with slightly different stuff in the morning, but we were positively surprised, ” he says.
Since the experiments with the two specifications began in July at the Silverstone has Romain Grosjean sat in the old races and are constantly told to debriefingerne, how he seems better about it. Why has Kevin Magnussen looking forward to try hybridvarianten, which reminds more of the original than the recent version.
Nothing, however, suggest that the dane breeds are also not completely hopeless. Despite the traffic he was faster on each lap. On the so-called long runs appeared he was faster on used softdæk than his colleague and, more importantly, kept the longer.

– I think we are where we expected. We look okay out in the løbstrim – at least on the first stint (soft), for we did not very on the other (medium). We extended the first stint to try to learn more about the soft tires. It looks okay, but could be better, says the dane.
team boss Günther Steiner was Haas’ general anguish in this season is taken into consideration reasonably well satisfied:
– the Move looks to be a little better than in recent races. Let us see what we can tomorrow, but it looks better compared with the previous Fridays.
