Haas results frustrating especially with "good car" - Steiner

Guenther Steiner has admitted his frustration at the team’s start to the season especially because the team “have a good car” according to the Haas boss.

Kevin Magnussen is currently 10th in the driver's standings on eight points whilst Romain Grosjean sits only above the Williams pair with zero points. Despite so much promise at the start of the season, with many expecting them to be best of the rest, Magnussen's P6 in Australia is the only points so far having suffered reliability issues and a lack of pace.

Steiner admitted the frustration caused by their slow start is amplified by the good car they have.

"It's just who is [struggling] more or less. And we are more," Steiner said.

"And it's so disappointing because we've got a good car.

"We shouldn't be talking always about if the tyre works or not. It's interesting but, no, that's not Formula 1.

"'Did you get the tyre to work? Yes - then I'm fast. Oh, my tyre didn't work, then I'm slow'.

"We spend millions and millions to develop these cars and then they are out of the [tyre] window and really cannot get going."
