In the roughly eight laps was the UNITED states Grand Prix exciting for Kevin Magnussen and the Haas-team.
the Dane lay down after a good start combined with a bit of luck. The rest was ‘Haas Classic’ with overheated tyres, how the drivers was just defenseless as sitting ducks for a hunter ... to use team manager Günther Steiner's words.
- I try so good I can to get as high up as possible in the first place, for I know well that I am not going to overtake some otherwise. It applies really to make a super first place. I did it again, said Kevin Magnussen to Ekstra Bladet after the race.
I overtook even a Red Bull, which was good. But I knew after a few laps, that it would not last, for tires boiled over, as I tried to be in the position. The dead just. It is an impossible task to keep them behind me, said the dane.

In the course was Haas-the duo again only faster than the drain plug Williams. With two laps back smoke the brakes on the dane's car, and he had to retire.
- I had a long pedal the whole race. I asked for it, but could not see anything in the data; the temperatures were okay. I continued, and then exploded brake disc.
- It is of course not optimal, but we have not had the move anyway. It is what it is, says Magnussen.
On the television the pictures you could see how there was a cloud of black brake dust from the car, which ended up in a gravel pit. What exactly had been wrong with the system during the race, required further investigation from the team.

the Boss Günther Steiner is looking forward to get over the last two races and get started with next year.
- It is difficult at the moment. We are in the defense. It is, as we are a football team with 11 defenders and all attacking you. There's nothing we can do. Only try to limit the damage, and if the others do a good job, it doesn't work. Each strategy is wrong, for we fall back no matter what. The tires overopheder and die, he says to Ekstra Bladet.

Romain Grosjean also had a long day at the office, but took the yes-hat on afterwards.
- Maybe I'm a little stupid, but I always look forward to the next race. I love both Brazil and Interlagos. I have the hydraulic suspension, it gives a good top speed, so maybe, he says.
On the team crossing the fingers for a crazy race and something like rain. Alfa Romeo also have a big problem with his speed during the race, and the team is ‘only’ seven points ahead on the number-eight spot in the constructor VM.
