out about issues with tyres during the race. Now Haas has also admitted that they struggled at the hands of tyres in Sunday’s Grand Prix., both Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen, who finished 15th and 18th respectively, spoke about difficulties with their tyres. Guenther Steiner, Haas Team principal, also admitted that the tyre performance was not optimal for the team on Sunday.Kevin Magnussen remained at the back of the grid during his weekend.
“Hopefully, we can try and learn about what caused it to improve, but certainly, it was a tough race.” On the other side of the garage, teammate Nico Hulkenberg had a much better qualifying having made it into Q3 and then finally starting the race in seventh. Unfortunately, on race day, the same tyre issues plagued the German driver and he ended up finishing out of the points in 15th.
“It was tough. Unfortunately, the degradation was really high for us and we had to three-stop whereas the competition didn’t.”Guenther Steiner echoed their feelings stating that Haas needs to “try to find a solution to our tire degradation”. “We just couldn’t get the tires to stay alive. We did one more pit stop than everyone else, but even if we hadn’t stopped, we would’ve gone slower and ended up there anyway.”Both Haas and Ferrari have complained about tyre issues following the Spanish Grand Prix and it is known that the two teams share an exceptionally close relationship. Haas is a customer team of the Scuderia and they share a “technical relationship” of engines and other parts.Perhaps.
