Haas are hoping for a better day of testing than yesterday

Haas faced some issues during yesterdays testing session. Grosjean was only able to clock 16 laps due to an issue with his exhaust which meant work had to be done on the car before he could set off. Team boss Guenther Steiner hopes that these issues are now behind his team. 

"It’s been a little disappointing today (yesterday), we didn’t do enough running," said a frustrated Steiner to F1i.com.

"In the morning we had a programming issue with the brake-by-wire system so we had to sort that one out.

"And in the afternoon we had a failure on the exhaust manifold, that had a gas leak and we had to change it.

"And nothing is easy on these cars to change so we had to take the gearbox off to get to the turbocharger and take the exhaust manifold off."

"Hopefully we’re getting all our little gremlins over with here in testing, so we don’t bring them to the races," said Steiner.

"We need to have a good day tomorrow, hopefully, but then I cannot demand that. Lady luck will play some part in that one."

Haas have been out on track this morning. Stay up to date with the final day of testing here!.
