It is probable that Grosjean will be replaced for this race. Will advise.

Update: Haas reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi will drive in Grosjean's place for at least this race. Pietro is the grandson of Emerson Fittipaldi, who was a rather good driver himself smile

Thanks to Fi for the driver news re Hamilton, Russell and Aitken.

There are only four seeds this race due to this development, of course.
