Romain Grosjean has revealed that Haas encourage their staff, including drivers, to push 100% and not to fear making errors in their quest for maximum performance.
Speaking to ESPN. Grosjean said of the working environment at Haas, “It’s a great atmosphere actually — it’s a very good mentality. Everyone is allowed to push; everyone is allowed to do mistakes. After Brazil I called Gene to apologise and say ‘I’m very sorry, I made a mistake’, and he told me ‘I’m sure you feel it as much as I do so no worries, we see you in two weeks in Abu Dhabi’.”
“I made a mistake, crashed the car on the laps to the grid, no one was happy, but there wasn’t finger pointing saying you did a big mistake, well don’t do it again but let’s go to the next race.”
“I would say that here, if someone does a mistake, [it’s] fine as long as he doesn’t repeat it and he moves forward. We are open and there is no non-discussed business. Everything is discussed with no finger pointing, with no problem, with no argument. You’ve made a mistake, move on, learn from it and let’s keep going.
“That for a new team is great because everybody is able to use their full potential, not thinking ‘Oh I’m going to stay at 80 percent because if I do a mistake it’s going to be bad’ — no, everyone does 100 percent and if we do a mistake then fine, just don’t do it again. Learn from it,” added Grosjean who will race for Haas team for a second year in 2017.
