Romain Grosjean has hailed Haas’ qualifying per✱formance for Formula ജ1’s Brazilian Grand Prix as “unbelievable”.

Having struggled for per🗹formance in recent races, the American squad impressed in qual𝔉ifying at Interlagos to get both its cars into the top-10 shootout for the first time since May’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Grosj𝄹ean ultimately set the eighth-fastest time while teammate Kevin Magnussen was 10th-quickest in the final segment of qualifying. Both drivers will each move up a place on the grid for Sunday’s grand prix after Charles Leclerc’s engine penalty is applied.

“It was a brillia🔯nt job by the team,” Grosjean ex🎐plained. “Having both cars in Q3 is unbelievable.

"Tomorrow might be a different day, but that doesn’t matter, we’ll take the pleasure from toᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚday.

“We didn’t really get to show the speed we had in fi🅷nal practice. I had confidence that we might be around P11. Then obviously Q2 went really well, and Q3 wasn’t too bad. We were only two-hundredths of a second off being best-of-the-rest.

"I’m happy for the♐ team, it’s a bril𒉰liant job from everyone.”

Magnussen, who was 1.5s off the pace having completed just a single run in𝓀 Q3, feels Haas might have “something to fight with” in Br💎azil.

“It’s good to have both cars in Q3 again,” he said. "It looks like we might have something to fight with this weeke🎃nd, which is really good.

“There’s nothing to be disappointed about from today. The circuit and conditions were right for our car. It’s bee𝓀n very up-and-down all the way through the year, so it’s not a surprise that we can do this.

“I’ll be more surprised if we can finish it off tomorrow, we know we struggle a little bit with tyre management in thꦐe race. We’ll certainly be giving it our all though.”

Haas team boss Guenther Steiner added: “FP3 didn’t look good on the timesheets b🌊ut we knew what was ღpossible today.

“I think in qualifying the whole team and the dri✱vers did a great job to get everything out of the car. It was a fantastic execution of a qualifying sessionꦗ with some fantastic drives.

"It’s good for the team, everyone’s worked hard for this, and we n൲ever give up. "We keep on fighting and today we’ve had a good result. Hopꦕefully, tomorrow we can do something, for sure we’ll be trying.”
