    Romain GROSJEANYeah I think the front wing is gone, hardbound complete, he went to the left on the braking

    EngineerOK copy that, we're looking

    Romain GROSJEANMove on the braking, it's far more dangerous than moving on the straight

  13. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:21:350:14

    Romain GROSJEANOk, at the minute I'm really struggling with the understeer, the rear is coming as well so I guess it will balance itself in a little while, but at the minute it's not amazing.

  41. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:30:300:10
