Team Talk - Sunday in Sao Paulo

Haas F1 Team

Romain Grosjean (FRA) Haas F1 Team VF-18.

Romain Grosjean
"I'm very happy, and very happy for the team. With the damage we had on the car following lap one, I'm impressed. We lacked about a second of downforce on the car. Being able to do those lap times, I think we did an amazing job on the setup. I'm very happy with that. I think without that, being best-of-the-rest would've easily been on our side. I'm happy we finished eighth and ninth. Even if we're far from Renault in the points, double-points finishes in the two last races would be amazing going into the winter."

Kevin Magnussen
"It was tough luck on the first lap. I made a good start and I got through turns one and two very well. Then I was pushed out on turn four and I lost a few positions there. I had to get those positions back and close the gap to Romain again. We stayed put from there. I'm happy for the team to get a double-points finish again. It's good to bounce back from the tough luck we experienced yesterday when I didn't really qualify where I should have. We did some damage limitation. I'm happy we leave with points."

Guenther Steiner, team principal
"It was a good result to have both cars in the points. Everybody did a great job over the whole weekend, and this is what you get when you do a good job. It was fantastic to lap the Renault that's in front of us in the championship."
