Complicated morning for Günther Steiner. After days that to define intense would be an understatement, Haas had to give up the first morning of tests, thanks to a delay in the delivery of materials in Bahrain. The US team not only started Sakhir’s tests late, but also risked not being able to recover the four hours of this morning. The South Tyrolean team principal would have liked to run calmly on Sunday morning, but “a team”He said no (the team should be Mercedes). To meet the team, however, the FIA gave Haas the opportunity to ‘extend’ the afternoon sessions (it seems to be on Friday and Saturday, according to the latest rumors) in order to run the same number of hours as the other teams. However, this leads to problems for the team.
“We don’t want to shoot more than the others, we just want to make up for the lost four hours, and it’s time we lost because the pieces arrived 36 hours later. I know that one team opposed the idea of racing on Sunday morning, which we thought was fairer and more efficient. Of course, we either shoot in the evening or Sunday morning. For us the second hypothesis was better, because if we shoot in the evening we have even less time to prepare the car for the next day“, Said the South Tyrolean a Sky Sport F1.
It is useless to hide that for Haas there were feverish hours, between torn contracts, replaced drivers and greeted sponsors, all factors on which the US team had its hands tied right from the start, considering the war between Russia and Ukraine: “We had to evaluate our future and decide what to do. We not only had Uralkali, but also other partners (alluding to the fact that, evidently, if the Russians had stayed, other sponsors would have left, ed). In my opinion we made the right decision at the right time. On Mazepin, the choice to replace him was inevitable. We did it with Magnussen, who is not just a safe second-hand, but a very capable driver: we knew we had seven days to integrate the new driver into the team, and he was with us for 4 years and got good results, so no one was better than him. We all get along very well with Kevin, he was the most efficient thing“.
