Miscommunication blamed for Haas' near-miss in Bahrain

SHANGHAI, China -- Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen have moved on from their near-collision in Bahrain after Haas put it down to a "miscommunication" between the pitwall and its drivers.

Grosjean appeared to hold up Magnussen during the race after the Dane had stopped earlier for fresh rubber and caught back up to him on the track, the same time Grosjean was busy fighting with Force India's Sergio Perez. Magnussen, who felt he was being blocked, took to remonstrating on the radio before attempting a risky move down the inside of Turn 2 where he very nearly made contact with his teammate.
