Why wouldn’t it? He remains as a reserve driver with Manor and was sensational in five appearances last season, nearly scoring a point in his rain-soaked home grand prix at Circuit of the Americas. Some believe they should look to put an American driver alongside Grosjean, and if so, that Alexander Rossi makes the most sense. Even though Gutierrez is a reserve driver with Scuderia Ferrari, whom Haas F1 share a close technical partnership, it may be best to look elsewhere in the driver market. Although young, the opportunity to help the team progress forward appears to be hindered by the former Sauber driver’s race craft.
In fact, the only time Gutierrez has finished in the points was at Suzuka in 2013, when he finished seventh. The 25-year-old Mexican has finished 11 th in four races this year, contributing zero championship points in the process. Obviously, the 30-year-old hasn’t disappointed and should remain with the team and as lead driver going forward.
His experience alone serves Haas F1 well and it, along with his pace, was the key component in bringing on the Frenchman. Grosjean has scored an astounding four times in 12 races, amassing 28 points over that span. However, with the summer break nearly over the team must decide what to do about its driver lineup for next season. Much has been made of Haas F1’s inaugural season in Formula 1.įrom scoring points in their debut in the Australian Grand Prix with Romain Grosjean to remaining within striking distance of Toro Rosso and McLaren-Honda in the Constructors’ championship battle, the US-based squad led by team principal Guenther Steiner has enjoyed a strong amount of success early.
