    Haas' test & reserve driver and is familiar with the car.

    "After it was decided that the best thing for Romain (Grosjean) was to
    skip at least one race, the choice to put Pietro (Fittipaldi) in the car
    was pretty easy,rCY stated team principal Guenther Steiner. rCLPietro will drive the VF-20 and herCOs familiar with us having been around the team
    for the past two seasons as a test and reserve driver. ItrCOs the right
    thing to do and itrCOs obviously a good opportunity for him. HerCOs been patient and was always prepared for this opportunity rCo and now it has
    come. ThatrCOs why we want him in the car and IrCOm sure herCOll do a good job. ItrCOs very demanding being called in at the last minute, but as I
    said, I think itrCOs the right thing to do for Haas F1 Team.rCY"
