Romain Grosjean believes that Haas has finally found the setup window for their VF-19 2019 car.
The American outfit struggled initially after the opening round in Melbourne, particularly with tyre warm-up and operating window issues. The French driver finished 10th in Monaco, securing a vital point.
Grosjean however feels the team has finally identified where it needs to be with their car but added the fight in the midfield could make the next few races a tight affair even with their new set-up ideas.
“Now we’ve got a clear idea of what we need to do in terms of tyres,” Grosjean told Motorsport Week.
“We’ve been working really hard, so we know exactly where the window is. Now the question is how to bring the tyres into that window. I think we’re getting better and better at that.

“Things should get a bit smoother, and I still believe we’ve got the fourth-fastest car on the track. The midfield this year is super, super tight.
“Three-tenths of a second in qualifying can put you in P6 or P7 or even P15. It’s very exciting. It’s a good challenge for the drivers. You’re pushing to the limit all the time.
“I think it would be nice if you were fighting for the win, or for pole position, but obviously the big teams are a bit too far ahead.
“We’ve got the potential of getting fourth place, but we need to put everything together, stop the small mistakes, and get those points going. I’m looking forward to being in Canada.”
