It couldnt have been better -- being back in the points at home. We had the performance recently to score points, but we didnt get the luck, or strategy things werent right.But today we made the maximum of everything we had.

The home crowd were in good voice for Haas and, though Grosjean joked that he could not hear them in the car, he was thankful for the support.I dont know what the others are listening to.
