Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has admitted that the team have made very little progress since the start of the season in Australia. Haas' form in 2019 has been particularly worrying and they currently sit 9th in the standings, eight points behind Alfa Romeo.

"Everyone knows how I like to race but this is something [else]," he told Motorsport.com. 

 "Racing like this, it kills you!

 There are just seven races left in the season starting with the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend as Haas look to add more points to their tally.

 “At the moment this is our struggle,” he said of the tyre problems that have proved an intractable issue since the start of the year.

  “Since two or three races we know pretty well where we are.

 “You go out with new tyres, the tyres work for two laps, then the temperatures go down and you are done again.

 "The drop off is not a tenth or two, it is a drop off that can mean a second," he explained. “We are so on the edge that I don’t know where we are."
