Haas doesn’t know what to expect for the Canadian Grand Prix

Haas did not have the best of Grand Prix in Baku, with no points earned and a wrecked car. Despite a potentially competitive car, Günther Steiner explains their weekend in Baku: “We were actually surprised by how the car performed and how well it was on Sunday for the race, with Kevin being able to fight for points, but we had the problem with the engine. In general, we started with a bad Friday, we were a little behind – more than a little, actually – and on Saturday we couldn’t place the car as we wanted.”

« It is mainly in the straight line where we suffered the most, other teams have done a better job on aerodynamic support in the straight line, so we struggled a little all weekend here. If the qualifying session had not been disrupted by the yellow and red flags, it could have been a better race for us, but nevertheless, before the technical issue, we were in a very good position to score points, so I am not too upset, I am mainly disappointed to have to deal with another retirement.

Formula 1 now heads to Canada and Haas hopes for a better weekend, but doesn’t get its hopes up unnecessarily.

(D) Dolphin jumping is different from track to track. In Barcelona, it seemed like everyone had found a solution to cancel it, but we went back to Baku and still didn’t have it, so I don’t really know what to expect in Montreal. I think it’s part of the car, and I believe there are enough smart engineers in Formula 1 who will eventually, hopefully soon, find a solution to counter the bounces.

Translate: « We endure it a bit more, perhaps, than other teams and perhaps less than others. Therefore, we focus on one track at a time, giving the driver the best possible car with the best performance because that’s what it all comes down to. If you compromise performance, you’ll have a lot of comfort – who would want that? Let’s see how it goes in FP1, but everyone knows that Canada is very bumpy, so let’s wait and see. »
