Steiner: “Gutierrez approved by Grosjean”

The opinion of Grosjean proved crucial to the hiring of the 2015 Ferrari tester Gutierrez in the luxury debutant Haas. This was revealed by the team manager Gunther steiner.

“When we signed with Romain we gave him the name of Esteban. If he had told us that they didn't get along or that there was no respect between them, I don't think we would have called him - the confidence of the South Tyrolean at Autosport - On the other hand, at the time for us he was a good driver and that was it, so we preferred to get help from those who knew him best as an opponent and he was decidedly positive towards his colleague".

“From what I have seen so far they seem like two intelligent, well-mannered guys with a good technical level. I think it won't be difficult to work in harmony” – she underlined.
