In what can only be labelled as the worst deja vu moment ever, Romain Grosjean retired from the Australian Grand Prix right after taking a pit stop complaining of a loose front left and a suspension issue. This is pretty much similar to the 2018 race when both the Haas cars retired following pit stop mistakes. Romain Grosjean was comfortably running in the points alongside team mate Kevin Magnussen, but fate had other things planned for him.
This obviously isn’t what the team would be hoping for after the disaster of 2018 and there will be many questions that will be need to be answered at the end of the race.
