Haas’ Romain Grosjean says he’s in favour of the ‘let them race’ plan

Isn’t Romain Grosjean struggling for form? You understand his predicament when you compare him specifically with his teammate, Magnussen.

The 2019 season is about to enter round three at China. This is a track where Ricciardo, then with Red Bull turned up with some magic. The likes of Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari and Verstappen’s Red Bull struggled and not an awful lot was reserved for the backmarkers where substantial gains were concerned.

Where the current season is concerned anyway, there’s not been anything sizeable to note when it comes to drivers like Antonio Giovinazzi of Alfa Romeo, George Russell and Robert Kubica of Williams and Haas‘ Romain Grosjean.

That said, Romain Grosjean, who has scored only two DNFs this season would be keen to get going. Isn’t it? After all, having not been able to open his account thus far might not be the best feeling in the world for the experienced Switzerland-born driver.

But in the build-up to the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix, it can be said that Romain Grosjean has at least something positive to look forward to.

So what is that exactly?

Well, apparently, it seems that the Haas driver is encouraged about the ‘let them race’ plan. Now you may wonder, what exactly is this plan that Romain Grosjean is actually referring to?

There was a talk that happened in Bahrain regarding drivers being free to race one another. In that sense, Romain Grosjean has lent his support toward the idea.

Apparently, the FIA discussed the possibility of the sport allowing drivers to ‘race one another’ at some length. But that told, it’s important to remember what this idea is pertaining to. The ‘let them race’ plan is being thought in lines with the one factor that actually defines F1 to a great deal: suddenness.

Doesn’t that define among the most unpredictable sport in the whole wide world? The suddenness with which accidents occur and the sheer unpredictability that comes to greet drivers lap after lap, all of a sudden?

Sharing his humble two cents about the developing story, the driver who races under a French flag shared the following:

“What we wanted to try and do was work towards some consensus on what ‘let them race’ means,” Garry Connelly, the chairman of the FIA stewards for the Bahrain race, told Motorsport.com.

“We went around the room and every driver expressed an opinion.

“One issue that was discussed was moving under braking. They all believe that that can be potentially dangerous.

“We told them we weren’t going to change anything overnight, we were there to get input.”
