Haas is hoping to keep its strong run of form going as Formula 1 enters the second half of the 2018 season. The American team has scored points in the last five races, including a fourth and a fifth place at the Austrian Grand Prix - its best ever result.
Despite being in only its third year in the series, Haas is fighting for fourth place this year. Currently, its fifth in the standings, 16 points behind Renault. With 66 points to its name so far in 2018, team principal Guenther Steiner believes that Haas can break the 100 point mark this year.
“I don’t see why we shouldn’t keep performing like we were before the summer break. The good thing is that everybody can have a break. Everybody was tired, and now we come back refreshed and, hopefully, continue like we did before the break. I think the 100-point barrier should be and will be broken, but still you have to get them. If you want to finish fourth or fifth, you have to break it.”
Romain Grosjean had a tough start to the season, only scoring his first points of the year at Austria. However, he has finished inside the top ten at three of the last four races. Speaking about the upcoming Spa-Francorchamps circuit, he said that the current spec of cars make the track feel "must faster" than before.
"Spa is a very high-speed circuit with a lot of good fun and good memories, but I’ve got to admit that last year from turn five to the backstraight of turn 15, the whole middle part of the circuit has been much faster. We’ve had that feeling from the extra grip and downforce of the new cars," he said.
“You always see different approaches at Spa. Either you’re fast in sector one and sector three, which are the high-speed sectors, or you’re fast in sector two, which has more of the corners. Both work pretty well, so it’s a matter of how you want to approach the race,” the Frenchman added.
