Nico Hulkenberg believes the rejuvenated Haas team pose the biggest threat to the French outfit in the battle for fourth place. Currently, Renault sits fourth in the constructor standings as the gap between the top tier teams means it is a battle for best of the rest.

Despite holding the advantage in the points, the Renault man believes that Haas is the team with the best chance of snatching away fourth.

"I think it shifted around with Haas coming through more and McLaren seem to have lost out a little bit," he told Crash.net 

"We take them (Haas) seriously because they are fast. How they got there doesn't really play a role for me, they are strong at the moment and we just have to deal with it."

"The momentum seems to swing around. But at the end of the day, they (Haas) have a strong car and good package.

"We still have a good package and we have some things in the pipeline that we will release over the next few weekends."

Haas hasn't made the best of their 2018 form, Romain Grosjean finding the barriers far more often than the chequered flag this year which might flatter the gap between both teams in the championship.
