Haas F1 have confirmed that Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen will stay with the team for the 2020 season, continuing their partnership for a fourth year.

Haas have had a tough season this year, sitting ninth in the constructors' standings, and there had been plenty of rumours that one or both of the drivers would leave, with Nico Hulkenberg a potential signing.

Frenchman Grosjean has been part of the Haas journey since day one, scoring a superb points finish on their debut race in 2016.

Team boss Guenther Steiner said in their press release: “Experience, and the need for it, has been one of the cornerstones of Haas F1 Team, and 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.

"It’s been a tough year for us in 2019 with the fluctuation in performance of the VF-19, but our ability to tap into our combined experiences will help us learn, improve, and move forward as a unit in 2020."
