Romain Grosjean will start his 100th Formula 1 race at this weekend's United States Grand Prix, which just so happens to be his team's first ever home race after joining the grid at the beginning of the current season.
The Frenchman described it as "quite something" and believes there will be many more to come in the future.
"When I started in Formula 1 I thought it’ll just be one race after the other, then here we are at 100 grands prix, 10 podium finishes, a few points and lots of good memories, and some a little more difficult," he said.
"The good thing is, I don’t know when I’m going to stop, but I think I’ve still got plenty of room in front of me to keep going and to keep trying to win. Definitely 100 grands prix is quite something in my lifetime."
Looking ahead, Grosjean is eyeing the ultimate success, but says the next step must be to get Haas in a position to win races.
"For myself, I want to be world champion, ideally twice," he added. "That’s been my dream since I started. I always wanted to be in Formula One but, on top of that, I want to be world champion.
"For Haas, the first goal was to score points and the second one was a top-five finish. We’ve done those two. The next goal is to be wearing the team’s colors on the podium. That would be very nice. I’d like to bring the first win to the team, which would be unbelievable.
"I think the whole idea is wonderful and having the support of Gene [Haas] means a lot to all of us. The way Guenther [Steiner] and all the people involved are running the team is just something very special. I want to be the driver that everyone remembers at Haas."
