Haas think upgrades will come good in France

In Canada, Haas had several upgrades but it didn't result in a points finish, but their team principal Guenther Steiner thinks that the upgrades will come good in the French Grand Prix.

Not only in France, but in the next three weeks which features the first-ever tripleheader in F1 history the upgrades should be making a difference.

"Out of our collected data we can conclude that the updates did what they had to do, so that's positive," Steiner said.

"In France and in the races after we'll see how big our progression is, but they'll get in handy for sure."

Haas will be one of the teams that gets tested most during the tripleheader, as the American team has an alarmingly low stock of spare parts. The upgrades were first delayed because there weren't enough spares.

"That problem has been partly resolved, but it's still a little tight when it comes to spare parts.

"Fortunately we had no big crashes in Canada and the collision with the groundhog only cost us a front wing.

"In France, we'll have more spare parts with us and if we don't crash in Austria, we'll be back on normal stock with parts."
