Haas an attractive proposition for engineers - Grosjean

With a year of experience under its belt and with adequate finances in place, Haas F1 Team is now an attractive proposition for engineers, according to Romain Grosjean.

Grosjean singlehandedly brought the US outfit its 29 championship points in its maiden F1 season, although the latter part of the year was a reality check for Haas as it learned the ropes of Formula 1.

"Now that the team has done one year, everyone has seen it’s stable, the financial side is good," said the Frenchman.

" We’re coming to the races, we’re committed. It’s not just a one-year thing. We’re going to have more and more engineers joining, which means we’re getting more experience and more performance."

Grosjean admitted that the team was still a work in progress but with the knowledge of how and where to improve which bodes well for 2017.

"We know where to work, we know where to improve. There’s been a lot of work going on already starting building next year’s car, all the parts.

"We had issues at the beginning of the year, with the front wing falling apart and so on. It’s all these things we don’t want to repeat."

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
