Haas drivers look forward to Eau Rouge: "My stomach really goes up and down".

Haas drivers Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean are looking forward to the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix on the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. In the preview of Haas, the teammates look ahead with a special focus on that one corner; Eau Rouge.

Magnussen remembers his first experience with a Formula 1 car at Spa-Francorchamps in 2014. "I was most looking forward to Eau Rouge, which was a bit of a challenge with the new hybrid cars back then. I could be wrong, but I think at the time you had to turn off DRS for Eau Rouge and then turn it back on at the top. Now that the cars have more downforce, it's less of a challenge, but it's still a lot of fun."

Eau Rouge is also a special part of the track for his teammate. "Every year, when I go through Eau Rouge for the first time in the weekend, I feel sick. My stomach really goes up and down. It goes away after the first timed lap. It's an amazing circuit", said Grosjean.

With the third triple header on the doorstep, Kevin Magnussen is also being asked how he is doing with the current calendar, both mentally and physically. The Dane doesn't have much trouble with it though. "Of course it's busy and we're away a lot, but I really missed racing and Formula 1 during the lockdown. I'm really glad we're back and there are so many races." He thinks it's especially hard for the mechanics. "They make really long days and work really hard. They also have to work on the cars between races. For them, the current schedule is really tough."
