Romain Grosjean says his relati♛onship with Haas Formula 1 teammate Kevin Magnussen will not be affected by their Spanish Grand Pri🎃x collision.

The pair twice made contact as they battled for position in the closing stages of the race in Barcelona, wit𒀰h Magnussen finishing seventh, while Grosjean slipped to 10th place.

Despite claiming its first double points finish of the season, Haas felt it had needlessly thrown away points and team principal Guenther Steiner immediately called a post-race🌸 meeting to discuss the situation.

“It was an avoidable situation and things could have been done a better way but saying that, it’s all OK, 📖it’s racing,♛” Grosjean said.

“Monday I was not happy. And maybe [felt it was] disrespectful. Then you calm down and it’s just one race out of 21. The biggest loss was for ꦯthe team, because we lo🐷st three points. We could have lost two cars in a year that’s been a rollercoaster.

“But the relationship is💃 OK, we just have to accept that Kevin is quite aggressive, even with his teamm♊ate, and I’ll make sure we protect the inside line and don’t think about trying to get people in front but protecting more from your teammate.

“It was all clear, it’s been good with Kevin, we won’t take two and a half years fܫor one incident. The relationship is good. It’s n𓄧ot the most clever thing to do but the relationship is still OK, it’s still good - don’t worry!”

Magnussen said 𝐆there was no blame pinned on one driver over the other and insistꦰed the meeting passed without drama.

“It was good,” he explained. “I always enjoy hanging out with those gu✃ys and there are no issues. It’s good that you talk things through as a team but there is no drama.”

Asked how calm team principal Guenther 🍷Steiner was on a sc🌳ale of 1-10, Magnussen joked: “Guenther scale or normal scale?

“It was really more just to understand and get our opinion on what happened because we may have a similar situation in the future and it’s always important to see if there’s anything you can do better or different, but I don’t see any drama.”

Steiner admitted it will be hard t🌊o prevent such an incident from occurring again.

“You can never make sure it nev♎er happens again,” he said.

“We lost a few poi𒀰nts, which you can never be happy with obviously. It’s a fine line. I think they fought hard, but they didn’🐲t try to push each other intentionally. That for me was the decision.

“We n🌳eed to talk about this, but I’m not going to sit there and try to be a judge, and say you did this one wr🅷ong. Where do you stop from where is racing and where is wrong-doing? They both agreed, saying you did this, and they spoke between them.

“In the end, the atmosphere was like ‘yeah, maybe we pushed a ♏little bit too hard,' but in the heat of the moment, it’s racing,” he added.

“We’ve got two drivers which are always close to each ot🤪her, in each grand prix. This year they are always very close, except one race, we aꦇre always there together, which means they are both strong.

“It is more difficult to manage, but it is good, because we are always performing. What do you🧸 want, I’d rather have added performance and a little bit of a headache on Sunday to keep me awake than anything else.”
