Best result 2nd

Podiums 10

Best season 7th (2013)

Romain Grosjean and Haas will bekeen

to put an awful 2019 behind them. While

the car looked strong intesting, updates

didn’t work as intended and it was proneto

overheating its rear tyres. The woe didn’t

make either driver – both of whom have a

tendencyto moan – any happier. Grosjean,

who once seemed destinedfor greater

things in F1, was given a reprieveby the

team for last year, which has continued into

this. On his day the Frenchman can bevery

fast, but then – suddenly – can inexplicably

find himself in the wall.

GP RACING VERDICT

If the car performs better than last year

then Grosjean will beexpectedto pick up a

decent haul of points

Kevin Magnussen

Age 27

Best result 2nd

Podiums 1

Best season 9th (2018)

Kevin Magnussen has a reputation as one

of the more aggressive drivers on the race

track and he’s not afraidto push his rivals

to the very limit in wheel-to-wheel combat.

The only problem is when he goestoo far.

A case in point was the Azerbaijan Grand

Prix in 2018, when he collided with Pierre

Gasly as the pair battled battledfor the

final point after a second Safety Car

restart. Now aboutto start hisfourth

season with the Americanteam (and

sixth full year in F1), Magnussen loves the

non-corporate environment at Haas which

allows himto fo cus purely on his racing.

GP RACING VERDICT

Although he has a podium from hisvery

first F1 race in 2014, securing Haas’s first

podium in F1 would taste sweeter.
