Grosjean: 2019 a "copy and paste" of last season

Romain Grosjean is enduring another disappointing start to the season, with the Frenchman admitting that so far, 2019 has been a "copy and paste" of last season.

Grosjean suffered a retirement in Australia in a very similar issue the team made in 2017, releasing the car with a loose wheel after the one and only pitstop.

Under the lights in Bahrain, his race was over shortly after lights out, sustaining race-ending damage on the opening lap of the race.

Grosjean says that so far, his year has been a letdown, adding that it was a case of deja vu from last season.

"At the minute a bit copy-paste from last year," Grosjean told media after the race.

"But we're strong and we always came back, so next race is going to be better.

"I won't tell you exactly what I think because it's not going to go well."
