Steiner worried Hockenheimring will expose Haas' weaknesses

Haas boss Guenther Steiner reveals he is concerned that the Hockenheimring will expose some of his team's weaknesses this weekend.

The Hockenheimring has a slow final sector and Steiner admits this could hurt his team's chances at this weekend's German Grand Prix.

Haas had an excellent triple-header, as they were the only midfield team to score in each one of the races.

Following the American side's struggles at the Monaco Grand Prix in May around the slow-speed, twisty and tight roads, Steiner is concerned that the final sector on the German track will bring out Haas' weaknesses.

"We are a little bit worried about the tight sector of Hockenheim, as it's very slow," Steiner revealed to Crash.net.

"Then again, we will work on it to do our best. For sure, the car is more competitive on high-speed corners. It's actually very competitive on high-speed corners. 

"We've had some issues on the slow-speed tracks. Let's see what we can do on Friday to set the car up to get over our deficiencies on the low-speed portions. Maybe we'll find a little bit of speed there and still be competitive."

Steiner insisted that the Haas 2018 car was built for high-speed tracks.

"The majority of the racetracks are not low speed, so our aero people didn't focus too much on that one, but more on the tracks where the majority of the races are held," Steiner added.

"Aerodynamically, the car is better on high-speed corners."
