Steiner: 'This is the sort of thing that you're scared to dream about'

Haas F1 is enjoying a dream weekend at the Brazilian Grand Prix. The US formation's prior goal was to secure points, but managed to secure pole position in qualifying with Kevin Magnussen. Speaking to Sky Sports, Guenther Steiner states that he is still impressed.

The team had some good luck throughout qualifying. After Magnussen set the fastest time on the board early in Q3, George Russell crashed and a red flag followed. Race control then decided not to allow any more DRS, making it impossible for the other drivers to improve on Magnussen's time.

Steiner admits it was down for Haas, but at the same time is very proud of his team. The team boss has been with Haas for years and has seen the development up close in recent seasons, with last season being the low point. "This is the sort of thing that you're scared to dream about," he points to Magnussen's pole position.

Steiner feels proud of team

Although Steiner is complimentary towards Magnussen, he feels the entire team should be satisfied. "The whole team have been trying hard for seven years. Circumstances let us pull this one off," Steiner said. Teammate Mick Schumacher will start Saturday's sprint race from the back position.
