Haas will reach their 50th Grand Prix milestone this weekend in Austria. Guenther Steiner, the team principal, remains proud of his teams' developments as he heads to one of his home races.

Despite just one driver scoring points for the American team this season, they sit 7th in the constructors' championship. Kevin Magnussen's 27 points places them within touching distance of mid-table. Steiner insists the team need to score more points and points are more than possible in Austria.

"It's already our 50th Grand Prix with Haas F1 team. Time goes by quick in life in general, but in F1 I think it goes even quicker," Steiner told Formula1.com.

"We can be proud of what we've achieved. We just need to get more points from this season. Going to Austria, we are confident that [our upgrade] will work like it did in France."

Haas will form part of a double milestone weekend. Force India will compete in their 200th Grand Prix at the Speilberg circuit.

The American team made their debut back in 2016 and have already tallied 103 championship points. Grosjean has featured in every race for the team whilst Kevin Magnussen took over from Esteban Gutierrez in 2017.
