Rich Energy Haas F1 Team drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen qualified 14th and 16th, respectively, for Sunday's British Grand Prix, the 10th round of the FIA Formula One World Championship at Silverstone Circuit.

Grosjean led the way for the Haas F1 Team duo in Q1 with the ninth-fastest lap of 1:26.347 around the 5.891-kilometer (3.66-mile), 18-turn circuit to advance to Q2 as part of the top-15. Magnussen had to abort his last-lap effort to make the top-15 and ended up 16th overall with his previous lap of 1:26.662, just .013 of a second short of advancing to Q2. Both Haas F1 drivers utilized the Pirelli P Zero Red soft tires in Q1.

In Q2, Grosjean again took to the track on soft tires and clocked the 14th-best lap of 1:26.757. Only the top-10 drivers advance to Q3.

Romain Grosjean: "I'm frustrated with qualifying. We had Q3 in our hands, the car felt really good. In Q2 something was wrong with both sets of tires. The first lap I was 1.2 second off my fastest time, there was literally no grip. So, what's happened behind the scenes - I don't know. It just didn't work well, I couldn't repeat the pace of Q1. I'm hoping we find out, as we had Q3 in the car. When we can be P9 with the car from Melbourne in Q1, it's pretty impressive with that package. There's a lot of potential, even though with the data there's a lot less downforce. It's working well in terms of feeling, it's much better. We just need to understand the difference between the two packages and hopefully we can pile on some downforce."

Kevin Magnussen: "I'm frustrated to be lacking pace. It's not like we looked super strong, but we were at least looking close to the midfield. It wouldn't have taken much, or a big gain to have gotten in front of the midfield. Instead, we lost a lot of pace, and I can't really explain why. I suddenly had no front grip in qualifying without having really changed anything. We had made some changes to help the front, but it went the other way. It's got to be something tire related again, I guess, but it's difficult to explain. We're spending this weekend trying to learn, hopefully get some points along the way, but it's frustrating nonetheless."

Guenther Steiner: "After FP3 we looked quite positive, at least with one car. Qualifying was a harsh awakening, one car went out in Q1, the other in Q2. There was just too much up and down in our lap times. Romain (Grosjean) had one very good lap, then all of a sudden we had no performance in the car. We need to look into that and see what we can do. Considering our long run simulations on Friday, we were pretty happy with that one, hopefully we can still get something done tomorrow."
