Confidence in setup key to ending struggles - Grosjean

Romain Grosjean believes that finding confidence in the setup of his Haas VF-17 car is key to reversing his♑ ongoing Formula 1 struggles and🃏 getting around the team's braking issues.

Haas has struggled with braking since debuting in F1 at the start of🎀 2016, with problems spilling over into its sophomore campaign despite 🃏an attempt to change supplier.

Grosjean has struggled particularly badly with the brakওes, making his thoughts clear about the problems over team radio through most sessions.

The Frenchm🅘an has finis൩hed no higher than eighth in a race and slipped behind team-mate Kevin Magnussen in the drivers' championship in Baku last weekend, but hopes that better results are on the horizon once he finds confidence in his car setup.

"Hopefully in the near future things are better approaching the corner," Grosjean said. "If every lap approaching the corner and you can do the same thing and find your braking point, your braking shape and getting t♎here, finding confidence in the set-up then you can work the car.

"If every few laps you have front locking, reꦬar locking, not going straight, you get lost and you can't find the feeling.

"When the brake feeling is terrible we need t𝔉o find a way that I can work with it. When they are great that's my strongest point in racing, I'm braking very late, very hard, turning the car with grace🦂.

"When I cannot dꦚo 💧that, then I just need to find more tools."
