Haas are well aware of the fact that their team are the worst at activating their tyres and they are doing all they can to fix the problem but it looks like they could have the same issue in Spain. Despite the fact that Haas have now come to expect these issues, team boss Guenther Steiner is very disappointed. 

"It's still never good when you get a disappointment. It is quite disappointing - or very disappointing," he said to Motorsport.com. 

"Other people can get it to work so we need to get it to work," Steiner conceded. "There's no point to say 'it's not working, oh'.

"Nine teams get it to work. Who better, who worse. But we are absolutely the worst one to get it to work. I'm very conscious about that one.

"It's very serious, because it's the point, you go slower, that's what it is. We know the cause now, we just need to find out how to fix it.

"We can talk about half an hour about it, we know what it is, we just need to fix it."

When asked if the issues will be fixed in time for the Spanish Grand Prix the team boss said, 

"I mean, my confidence level in the moment is not very high, obviously. As you can imagine." 

Haas have shown that they have a fast car and will hope that the Spanish circuit is kind to them like it was in pre-season testing.
