Team Talk - Sunday in Monte Carlo

Haas F1 Team

Kevin Magnussen (DEN) Haas VF-19.

Romain Grosjean
"It's a better result than we were expecting – that's for sure. It's been a good race. We tried a different strategy. I think the Toro Rosso of Albon stayed out a bit too long in front of us, and by the time we cleared, our tyres were well worn. We did our best, we tried. It's a shame I couldn't end up in front of Sainz, because I think I'd have had much more pace at that time of the race. Then I got the penalty at the end. I'll look at the footage. It's close, I still think there's a piece of my wheel touching the line, but I got the penalty. All-in-all though, it was yesterday that cost us good points today."

Kevin Magnussen
"I don't really know what happened, it wasn't the race we were hoping for today. We've done a very good job together this weekend. It was a perfect weekend until the race. It's a big shame but we'll see what went wrong today and why it happened."

Guenther Steiner, team principal
"It was a challenging race for us, almost everything that could go wrong, did go wrong for us. It's Monaco though, I think there were just circumstances that led us to only score one point here. I don't even want to go into all that happened, otherwise you'd have to write a book about it. Obviously, we're not happy about it, but a lot of people would have been happy getting away with one point. We're pretty upset about that. What we're not upset about is the performance of our car, the team and our drivers. Today we got into circumstances we didn't want to be in, but we know the car is faster than it showed. That's a good thing to look forward to, and I'm sure we'll make up for it. Hopefully one day we won't be unlucky, I'm not even demanding to be lucky – just not unlucky."
