SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- Haas driver Romain Grosjean refused to give any details which might have explained his bizarre pit-lane crash at the start of opening practice for the British Grand Prix.
Haas has tried something different with Grosjean's car this weekend, taking the unusual step of reverting back to the specification it ran at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix for the Frenchman. Grosjean has felt uncomfortable with the car since it introduced a major upgraded at the Spanish Grand Prix, the fifth race of the year.
However, his hopes of extracting the potential of that new car suffered a blow in the opening moments of the session as he lost control on exit from the pit-lane -- he spun and was pitched into a wall.
