Romain Grosjean Responds to Steiner’s Haas F1 Departure

Former F1 driver, Roman Grosjean has spent five years working under Guenther Steiner during his time at the Haas F1 team.

On Wednesday,  in a shocking revelation, it was announced that Guenther Steiner would be leaving the Haas team with immediate effect. In his place arrives Ayao Komatsu, who steps up from his Director of Engineering position having been part of the Haas set-up since its debut.

Grosjean has vast experience working with Komatsu with the latter performing as the Frenchman’s race engineer at Lotus before they made the switch to Haas together.

The former F1 racer Grosjean responded to the recent news developing around the Haas Team. Although he asserted that he had few ideas over what occurred behind the scenes amid Steiner’s departure, he has expressed delight over Komatsu’s promotion.

Grosjean has a great deal of experience working with Komatsu; the Japanese company was the Frenchman’s race engineer at Lotus before to their joint move to Haas.

After his terrible collision at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix, Grosjean left the US-owned team before the end of the 2020 season, having competed for five seasons.

Although Grosjean claimed to know very little about the events leading up to Steiner’s withdrawal, the 13-time podium finisher was happy to see Komatsu advance in the standings.

“I don’t know what happened,” Grosjean said.

“I don’t know more details than you do, but I wish Guenther all the best in his next chapter.

“He’s definitely a man that’s got a lot of ideas and things to do, but for me, the main thing is I’m very happy for Ayao.”
