I honestly thought they would try something different. Both drivers have under performed this year as far as I can tell.  Would have been nice to give someone else a chance. Or maybe Haas are simply admitting that their car is indeed that bad.

cosworth151:
It surprises me, too. I thought that Grosjean was a goner at least.

In the official announcement, Guenther seems to say that the car is to blame for this year's problems:

Jericoke:
I've always believed that Haas himself believes in loyalty, perhaps to a fault.  Grosjean and K-Mag took a chance on Haas, and it seems he's grateful for it.

Maybe not the BEST way to run an F1 team, but I can respect it for sure.

I don't know if any available drivers could have gotten better performances from the Haas (disregarding points lost through contact I suppose).  It's also possible that up and coming drivers don't want to join a team that isn't progressing.

Dare:
This throws the Hulk in a bad space

John S:
I'd venture to suggest that KMag has a year left on his contract anyway so why pay him off and Wrecker Romain comes a lot cheaper than any other experienced F1 driver - especially Hulk.
