Small wins

40

While it may be 20 years since a Frenchman won a grand prix, Romain Grosjean has tasted success in different forms over his F1 career so far. With eleven podiums to his name, this time last week Grosjean was celebrating a result which he described as "a win" for the new Haas team on its debut, finishing sixth in Australia. With all of the negativity surrounding F1 in the week since Melbourne, it's worth remembering the exciting race which opened the new season.
