When training for the Formula 1 final in Abu Dhabi began, there was significant difference between the two Haas-racers.
For the first had Romain Grosjean the hydraulic bagjulsophæng, in the second half of the season is used by the Haas-drivers of change. How effective it is, depends on the individual courses, and at Yas Marina, which mainly consists of slow vinkelsving and a few quick longitudinal side, it was a significant advantage.
For the second ran Grosjean with an aero-solution, which was based on a new bottom. It made his car more Dumanbet superior compared to Magnussens, and it was not surprising, therefore, that the frenchman was quickest Haas-runs during training.
As the new bottom in the Grosjeans car late on Friday was destroyed by a collision with Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes), was something of the frenchman’s technical advantage, eliminated.
But he still had the hydraulic rear suspension, and that Magnussen still beat him by 3/10 of a second during qualifying, highlighting where approximately perfect the dane’s place was On the paper was Magnussens 15.-space during qualifying, nothing special, but if you take a few technical deepen, was the result of one of the season’s best laps.
In the course delivered Magnussen even a spectacular, effective the first place, and he stayed actually longer in the top 10 than usual. But the rest of the afternoon developed yet as the bulk of 2019 races:
He fought heroically, but fell in its inferior Haas VF gradually down through the field to a finishing position as number 14.
Thus even a approximately flawless weekend – and even an 8-figure in the character.
