Richard Mille is partners with the Haas F1 Team for its first season of Formula One. |
Thanks to the French driver, Haas F1 Team is realizing
amazing feats in its first season of Formula 1. Richard Mille, who is a partner
of both Romain Grosjean and the American team, extends heartfelt
congratulations applauding this remarkable debut.
Romain Grosjean’s success story has played out on the
Formula 1 circuit over the course of several seasons, and the young driver
continues this year with his the foot on the gas. The outstanding performance
of Haas F1 Team’s VF-16 and the talent of its driver have enabled the fledgling
team to rack up 18 points in merely two races.

Building on a strong foundation and seniority in motorsport
generally, Haas has made a sensational debut in the supreme motorsport
discipline. Racing in a new category involved considerable challenges for the American
team, but thanks to the expertise of driver Romain Grosjean, this season
already smacks of victory, all the more glorious when one considers how complex
is the task confronting a young F1 team. They must learn the ropes and score
points, whilst simultaneously developing and fine-tuning their car.
After a 6th place finish in the Australian Grand Prix at the
end of March despite starting in 19th position on the grid, Romain finished 5th
this weekend at the Bahrain Grand Prix, turning in a perfect race from his 9th place
start. The 18 points, garnered in only two GPs, place the French driver 4th in
the drivers’ ranking. This is the best start to a season of Romain Grosjean’s
career. Moreover, his performance in Bahrain earned the young man a title of “driver
of the day,” voted by Internet users on the official website of the International
Automobile Federation (FIA).
Romain, however, remains realistic: “Lots of things are
going on, and there are so many areas where we can improve,” he says, speaking
with the voice of experience. “It’s crazy, and it’s great! We’ve had two
incredible races but we need to keep our feet on the ground. There is still a
great deal of work to be done.”

At Haas F1 Team, the goals have shifted somewhat. The car
having proven itself able to face off against the strongest teams, team manager
Guenther Steiner is expecting more now: “Of course our ambitions are higher
after Melbourne and Sakhir. At the moment, of course, finishing 5th in each
race would be asking too much! I think we can win points in each race though.
That’s our goal. I don’t know if we will achieve it, but we now know that the
car can do it.”
The next race will take place April 15th through the 17th,
in Shanghai, where Romain Grosjean and Haas F1 Team will attempt to continue
fulfilling the American dream.
Richard Mille will be represented as well, on Romain’s
wrist, where he wears the new RM 011 in red TPT® Quartz.
