Haas boss Gunther Steiner knows that his team must be wary of missing out on too many opportunities to score points and letting their midfield rivals get a lead on them.

Haas have failed to score points in the last three races and sit eighth in the Constructors’ Championship, ten points behind fourth placed McLaren.

Kevin Magnussen’s P6 in Australia account for all of Haas’ points this season and Steiner admits that they need to make sure they don’t fall too far behind.

He told Motorsport.com: "I mean, it the moment it's still very close in the midfield because everybody is suffering the same problem one day or another. There is nobody which is completely in control of what we need to do.

"But each race, it's 'oh they just gained a few points on us' - a few points after a while is a lot. So you need to be careful, you cannot be too positive about it.

"It's not a positive. But I mean, Renault will be scratching their heads as well as we do. We have got the fastest cars [in the midfield] but we are now at the back."
