Romain Grosjean has said he was always confident about keeping his race seat at Haas for the 2019 season.

The Frenchman has been an ever-present with the American outfit since they joined the grid back in 2016.

However, his place was under threat after failing to score any points in the first eight races of the season, with Kevin Magnussen showing in the other car that Haas had the pace to be leading the midfield battle.

Grosjean finally got the proverbial monkey off his back in Austria with a P4 finish and, since then, there has been somewhat of a role reversal at Haas as Grosjean has banked most of the points in the second half of the season.
