What was interesting in Gunther Steiner's explanation of why Haas has kept Romain Grosjean on was the reference to him being "a big part of getting the understanding of why we are wrong with the car".
It was Grosjean who pushed hard to revert to the Melbourne-specification car and that insistence led to the team seeing that not all had gone right with its upgrades. That shows the value of the experience that Grosjean brings
Many drivers would not have pushed to go to an ostensibly slower car specification, but Grosjean did and he was proved right, in the process helping the team learn.
Perhaps that made all the difference when the team made its decision?
