Romain Grosjean feels proud to have worked with the Haas Crew

Although Grosjean has departed Haas, he will live in the hearts of his team. The crew in any F1 team is like a family. If there is an understanding among the crew, the job is half done. Romain knows he has made a place for himself in the heart of his team. Likewise, his team has also left a mark on him.

“I hope I’ve also helped people in the team to improve themselves. This is probably my biggest pride, more than any of the crazy first races in 2016 or the P4 at the Austrian GP 2018. I wish the team all the best for the future,” wrote Romain Grosjean.

The Haas team had started well and looked bright. However, being a junior team, they got lost in the mad circus of F1. The team kept falling behind and became tail enders on the grid. However, Guenther Steiner is not ready to give up. He will take the risks and persevere get this team to a better position on the grid.

Romain Grosjean will look to try out other formats now that he is out of F1. He specifically mentioned the Endurance Championships with Le Mans and Daytona on his list. The driver has gained the required experience to earn a seat in those series.

F1 is not everyone’s ball game. Maybe he will do a lot better in another format. Whatever be the story, we wish the Frenchman all the best for his future.
