Team’s inputs after the qualifying
Haas Team principal Gunther Steiner felt the results were encouraging for the team. The two drivers got very close with the other midfield teams and it was a good sign for the team. “It was a pretty good day with a lot of running and no damage. It was solid running for all of FP3 and solid running from both in qualifying to get close to the cars in front of us, which is very encouraging for us so late in the season,” said Steiner after the session.
Mick Schumacher talked through his DRS issues, and he is optimistic about the upcoming race. “I delayed the deployment of my DRS, and it’s around a tenth so it’s quite frustrating but I was not anticipating being so close to the Aston Martin so that’s something I think really shows our build-up of performance over the weekend,” remarked Schumacher.
