Haas wants Grosjean to race this weekend

The Haas team's 'plan A' is for Romain Grosjean to return to action this weekend in Bahrain.

The French driver, whose visor melted in the inferno of his first-lap crash, suffered only second-degree burns to his hands and ankles and shock in the horror incident.

Almost immediately, there were rumours that likely 2021 Haas driver Mick Schumacher might replace Grosjean for the second race in Bahrain this weekend.

However, his push for the Formula 2 title is likely to rule that out.

Team boss Gunther Steiner is hoping Grosjean can drive this weekend.

"At the moment, my plan - if he's ok - would be for him to drive the second race here," he told motorsport-magazin.com.

"But before we speculate, I want to speak to Romain first. I only spoke to him on the phone but tomorrow morning I will go to the hospital and see what's really going on."

Steiner said the proviso is that, if Grosjean is physically ok, the 34-year-old married father also feels psychologically ready to return to the car.

"That's his decision - I'm not going to tell him what to do," he insisted. "He has to decide that for himself.

"But he was already in a good mood, making a few jokes."

Steiner also dismissed suggestions that because Grosjean's car was completely destroyed and the FIA has launched an urgent investigation, Haas may not be able to run a second car at all this weekend.

"Even if our budget is small, we have enough parts to build a second car from scratch," he said.

It is believed that the FIA will inspect the wreckage in detail, with Steiner explaining: "But there is no rush because we can't use anything from that car anymore."
