The British Grand Prix was another solid link in the Haas F1 competency core. Both cars finished the race, and Grosjean finished 10th and scored yet one more point for the Tribe from Kannapolis. It was really Kevin Magnussen’s day to repeat his Monaco performance and score, but it was not to be. KMags passed the Mclaren of Stoffel Vandoorne while under a virtual safety car situation, and was penalized 5 seconds on his next pit stop. Those 5 seconds would put him back towards the end of the field and out of points. The thing which does not make sense is that Magnussen was penalized for passing while under the virtual safety car.
Grosjean was running 12 most of the second half of the race until the Toro Rosso of Kvyat failed, then the Mclaren of Fernando Alonso failed on the second to the last lap. So Grosjean was gifted another point for his 10th place finish Magnussen got nothing for finishing 12th. But Magnussen started 18th and again, the entire Haas F1 Team linked yet another complete race for two cars, and one point for the effort.
