F1: 5 Best midfield driver performances in 2018

#3 Romain Grosjean - Austrian Grand Prix

Romain Grosjean's P4 at the Austrian Grand Prix secured him his first points of the season

Romain Grosjean struggled greatly during the first half of the 2018 Formula One season. The Frenchman failed to put even a single lap on the board until the ninth race of the season at Austria. However, his inspired drive at the Red Bull Ring allowed him to secure a fourth place and score the first points of the F1 season.

The 32-year-old had a very good qualifying session that saw him start the race from the fifth place, giving him a real chance to finish amongst the points at the Austrian Grand Prix.

Grosjean maintained good race pace, but the Haas machine could never keep up with the top-3 teams. However, things turned into the Frenchman's favour when both the Mercedes' retired from the Grand Prix along with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.

This allowed both the Haas drivers to pick up crucial points, with Grosjean in the fourth place and his teammate, Kevin Magnussen, in the fifth place.
