Team Talk - Sunday at the Hungaroring

Haas F1 Team

Kevin Magnussen (DEN) Haas F1 Team on the grid.

Romain Grosjean
"I was happy with the beginning of the race. The car felt okay on softs, I was holding everyone behind. That's something we knew from the race pace and I was happy with that. Then we fitted the hard tyre, which we hadn't really run over the weekend, and I think today you didn't want to be on the hard tyre. There was no grip and it was impossible to warm them up. Ultimately we had a water pressure issue and had to retire the car anyway."

Kevin Magnussen
"The car was okay in the race today, not too bad at least, for our level. Considering the problems we've had this year, it was pretty quick race pace – not good race pace, but compared to ourselves in the past. I'm happy we're headed into the summer break now, we all are in the team, everyone's ready for the break. We'll come back stronger."

Guenther Steiner, team principal
"It was a pretty tough race for us. In the end though we showed some fight with some other midfield teams. A lot is in these tyres, which makes these races so unpredictable, and weird almost. Kevin (Magnussen) put up a good fight, and unfortunately Romain (Grosjean), his tyres just died on him, then we had an issue with his water pressure. At the end, it's a difficult situation to be, in dealing with these tyres and getting them to work. We will keep on trying until something changes."
