Grosjean, Rich Energy set to remain with Haas in Germany

The short-term futures of Romain Grosjean and Rich Energy were in doubt for the German Grand Prix, but both driver and sponsor seem set to remain with Haas at Hockenheim.

Grosjean has accrued just two points at the halfway stage of the season, and a collision with Kevin Magnussen at Silverstone – which forced an early double DNF for Haas – had been reported to be the last straw for Guenther Steiner.

However, the Frenchman seemingly remains in the team for Germany after his pre-race thoughts were published in the team's race preview.

He said: "I go to Hockenheim with the same objective as always.

"I'm always trying to do my best, get a good race and be proud of what you’ve done. If it's a top-10, great. But if it's not, you've given your maximum."

Rich Energy's branding remains prominent on team communications and official portals, despite the chaos which emerged around the drinks company pre- and post-British GP.

The company has claimed to have terminated its sponsorship of Haas, followed by a denial and subsequent removal of CEO William Storey from the company's board.

Rich Energy has been relaunched as 'Lightning Volt', but the new branding is apparently yet to make it to Haas' livery and team branding.
