Month: May 2018

The Haas F1 Team is ins a bit of a slump, and it continued with the Monaco Grand Prix. Haas had two cars in the points last year when Grosjean/Magnussen finished 8th/10th,  but they would see no such fortune in 2018.

Grosjean/Magnussen started at the back of the pack 18th/19th. The only car to start behind them was the Redbull of Max Verstappen due to an engine swap. Verstappen passed both Haas cars before they entered turn 1 and the rest was… all about just finishing the race, which they did. They Finished Magnussen/Grosjean 13th/15th…

It was only attrition in front of them which moved them up. But when you are the last two cars on the grid there is only one direction to move.

Daniel Ricciardo was the pole winner and race winner. It was a good day to sell Haas Automation equipment….

Oh Canada…. It can only get better!

Don’t blink… if you missed the first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix, you missed most of the action. Grosjean decided to pull a Sponge Bob and floored it when he tried to recover from a spin in about turn 5 and floored it. Grosjean spun into the oncoming Renault of Nico Hulkenberg and the Toro Rosso of Pierre Gasley. Grosjean was out before lap 1 was complete.

Kevin Magnussen Started the race in 7th position and held that position until the 25th lap of the race. Magnussen stopped once, on lap 33. It was the retirement of the Ferrari driven by Kimi Raikkonen which retired, and Kevin Magnussen moved up to the 6th position, which is where he finished, and scored 8 championship points.

The race was not very exciting, and there was not much on track racing.

The Monaco Grand Prix is Next!!!!
