Romain Grosjea🅘n has hailed Haas’ qualifying performance for Formula 1’s Brazilian Grand Prix as “unbelievable”.

Having str💖uggled ♉for performance in recent races, the American squad impressed in qualifying at Interlagos to get both its cars into the top-10 shootout for the first time since May’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Grosjean ultimately set the eighth-fastest time while teammate Kevin Magnussen was 10th-quickest in the final ✱segment of qualifying. Both drivers will each move up a place on the grid for Sunday’s grand prix after Charles Leclerc’s engine penalty is appliedꦍ.

“It was a brilliant♕ job by the team,” Grosjean♌ explained. “Having both cars in Q3 is unbelievable.

"Tomorro🥃w might be a different day, but that doesn’t matter, we’ll take the pleasure from today.

“We didn’t really get to show the speed we had in final practice.൩ I had confidence that we might be around P11. Then obviously Q2 went really well, and Q3 wasn’t too bad. We were only two-hu❀ndredths of a second off being best-of-the-rest.

"I’m happy for the ൲team, it’s a brillia൲nt job from everyone.”

Magnussen, who was 1.5s off the pace having completed just a single run in Q3, feels Haas might have “some🐻thing to fight with” in Brazi✨l.

“It’s good to have both cars in Q♋3 again,” he said. "It looks like we might have something tꦡo fight with this weekend, which is really good.

“There’s nothing to be disappointed about from 🧔today. The circuit and conditions were right for our car. It’🧸s been very up-and-down all the way through the year, so it’s not a surprise that we can do this.

“I’ll be more surprised if we can finish it off tomorrow, we know we struggle a little bit with tyre management i🌜n the race. We’ll certainly be giving it our all though.”

Haas team boss Guenther Steiner added: “FP3 didn’t look good on the timesheets but we knew what was possi🌞ble today.

“I think in qualifying the whole team and the drivers did a great ༺job 🍒to get everything out of the car. It was a fantastic execution of a qualifying session with some fantastic drives.

"It’s good for the team, everyone’s worked hard for this, and we never give up. "We keep on fighting 💞and today we’ve had a good result. Hopefully, tomorrow we 🌳can do something, for sure we’ll be trying.”
