On the same foundations. Kevin Magnussen returned to the Haas F1 Team for the 2022 season after Nikita Mazepin was forced to leave the team during the pre-season. This happened following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The Danish driver immediately impressed after a year of absence by collecting the majority of Haas’ points.<\/p>\n
His teammate Mick Schumacher was not retained for 2023. Haas has preferred to opt for a more experienced driver in the person of Niko H\u00fclkenberg. The German veteran has proven to be a clever recruit so far, as he has scored six of the eight points accumulated by the team this season.<\/p>\n
When asked about the future of the team, G\u00fcnther Steiner stated that he was rather satisfied with his current duo and hoped that the team could make a decision in the near future. “Regarding the driver market, I think we are currently quite satisfied with what we have,” said Steiner. “It is clear that we want to announce our drivers as early as possible so as not to fall behind like last year.”<\/p>\n
Steiner added that the pilots’ experience helped the team find a direction to solve the issues with their 2023 car, which showed great pace in qualifying but struggled to maintain good positions in the race. \u00ab Yes, I would say that [the pilots’ experience helps]. Nico didn’t mince his words about the strong tire degradation, and what I like is that we talk about it openly. \u00bb<\/p>\n
There is no attempt at concealment, it’s very open. Everyone says, “Hey, let’s try to find out more about what’s going on.”<\/p>\n
The American leader added that the team was also satisfied with its technical partnership with Ferrari and wished to maintain the status quo. \u00ab On Ferrari’s side, I believe that in the short and medium term, there is no reason to change. Just because you have a year like this one doesn’t mean you have to immediately switch to someone else. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
