Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes that a close link between Ferrari and Alfa Romeo will have no impact on his team. 

Haas are heavily reliant on Ferrari for supplying parts and many would assume that the close link between Ferrari and Alfa Romeo would worry Haas. However, it seems that they are not concerned about their partnership as they will still get what they need out of the arrangement. 

"We have got a very solid relationship with them, technically, humanly, and financially," Steiner explained to AutoSport.

"It is very solid. They respect us, we respect them, and we collaborate very well.

"What they do with Sauber and with Alfa Romeo is none of my business. They know that I respect that fully.

"I don't interfere. As long as we get what they promise and what they gave us [before], then I am happy. What they do otherwise, so it be.

"I am not critical or anything, and I don't really care what they [Ferrari] do with them [Alfa Romeo] as long as we do as we always do, and we do. So I am happy."

Many believe that every team should have to supply their own parts to ensure every team wants to succeed, instead of just supplying data for bigger teams.
