Grosjean disappointed after wheel problems - again

Romain Grosjean’s promising Australian Grand Prix was spoilt by a pit stop error in which his front left was not on properly. That sounds oddly familiar…

Unfortunately for the Frenchman, history repeated itself as he was forced out of the race in Melbourne, having run well within the points during the opening laps, despite losing a place to his team mate Kevin Magnussen.

Grosjean’s pit stop took longer than normal, relegating him to P12 and soon after he was parked up and out of the car.

He said in Haas’ press release: “I don’t know what happened exactly yet. It just felt wrong. It’s not been a good day.
