Romain Grosjean is hopeful that Toro Rosso's recent driver changes could help Haas move up the Formula 1 constructors' championship table in the fꦑinal two races of the season as it bids to improve on its eighth-place finish from 2016.

Haas curr𒉰ently sits P8 in the constructors' tabl𓄧e with two races remaining this season, one point shy of Renault in seventh and six adrift of Toro Rosso in sixth in the standings.

While Grosjean thinks Ren🐎ault may be too strong for Haas to outpace and overhaul in the championship, the Frenchman feels that Toro Rosso's recent switch to an all-rookie line-up of Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley may present a chance to capitalise and move up the order.

"I think out of those teams, Re🍨nault is the faster one. They’ve got a really good car through to the end of the season," Grosjean said.

"They’ve had a bit more of a difꦿficult time in the races, which has allowe༒d us to close the gap and keep them in sight.

"Toro Rosso is the one we can try to go for. They’re not performing better than we are, and they’ve got less exp✨erience amongst their drivers, so that should help us.

"We’re going to do everyt💫hing we can to get those positions because it’s very important for the team."
