Romain Grosjean: "To be taken out on the first lap is very hard"

Romain Grosjean had a disastrous Russian Grand Prix as he crashed out on the first lap of the race. The Haas driver is disappointed with how the weekend ended after having a competitive car. His teammate Kevin Magnussen finished in the points which added salt to the wound.

“There’s not much to say, the footage is pretty clear," Grosjean said. "We’ve been working very hard all weekend, and we had a competitive car – we were going to go for points today. There was a huge amount of pressure on us to get into Q3 in qualifying yesterday, we don’t know how often we’ll get those chances.

Grosjean will hope that Haas are on the pace in Suzuka and that he can avoid crashing and perform well in Japan.
