SPIELBERG, Austria -- Kevin Magnussen is convinced his "annoying and frustrating" suspension failure in Q1 cost Haas a spot on the third row of the grid.
Magnussen and teammate Romain Grosjean have showed good pace all weekend and looked a good bet for Q3 when qualifying begun. After setting a lap good enough to progress to Q2 in the opening session, Magnussen slowed with a rear suspension failure.
While the Dane had to watch Q2 from the garage, Grosjean made the top-ten shootout and beat both Force Indias to eighth -- which will become seventh once Lewis Hamilton serves a gearbox change penalty.
