Haas team principal Gunther Steiner says the team's performance during the Bahrain Grand Prix was simply "not good enough." The team failed to score points having looked very competitive a fortnight ago in Melbourne.
Romain Grosjean suffered his second retirement of the season after colliding with Lance Stroll at turn two on the opening lap of the race while teammate Kevin Magnussen ended up a lap down in 13th place.
Steiner admitted that the result was not what the team had hoped for but was positive that with the two-day test after the race, the team could discover the cause of their woes.
“It was a very disappointing race, not least with Romain (Grosjean) effectively going out on the first lap, having been run into by somebody," he said.
"The performance was just not good enough today to get into the points. We need to investigate why this happened, especially after a strong qualifying.

"We’ll try to find the cause of it. On the plus side, at least we now have two days of testing here, so we can maybe try to learn what happened.
"We go back to square one and start afresh in China.”
