Haas confirm Grosjean for 2020
French driver Romain Grosjean completes the anti-American Haas lineup for 2020 |
French driver Romain Grosjean will stay at Haas next season with Dane Kevin Magnussen in an unchanged lineup for a fourth straight year, the Formula One team announced on Thursday.
Magnussen, 26, already had a contract for 2020 while 33-year-old Grosjean had faced an uncertain future at the U.S.-owned outfit.
“I’ve always stated that it was my desire to remain…and keep building on the team’s accomplishments," Grosjean said in a statement at the Singapore Grand Prix.
“Having been here since the very beginning and seen the work both (owner) Gene Haas and (principal) Guenther Steiner put into the team to make it competitive, I’m naturally very happy to continue to be a part of that."
“Experience, and the need for it, has been one of the cornerstones of Haas F1 Team," principal Guenther Steiner said in a statement at the Singapore Grand Prix.
“With Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen racing for the team in 2020, we continue to have a driver lineup that offers us a solid platform to continue our growth.
“Their understanding of how we work as a team, and our knowledge of what they can deliver behind the wheel, gives us a valued continuity and a strong foundation to keep building our team around."
