Guenther Steiner describes Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen's collision as 'unacceptable'.
Grosjean and Magnussen, who both drive for Haas, collided in the first-lap of yesterday's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
According to Haas, the incident occured following the more publicized collision between Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.
The Silverstone stewards investigated the incident but then ruled that no further action would be taken.
Haas boss Steiner made a statement about the collision:

"We need to go away and evaluate what actually happened at turn one and avoid this for the future.
"This is obviously not acceptable because we keep on losing points while having a good car."
Grosjean also had his say on the incident:
"At the beginning of the race with Kevin, I think it was a mistake from both of us.
"It shouldn't happen, so we need to work on that to ensure it doesn't happen anymore."

Grosjean later crashed out of the race with Renault's Carlos Sainz Jr.
The stewards decided and ruled that nobody was to blame for that incident.
Magnussen managed to finish in ninth place, with a crucial two points for Haas.
The points keep them ahead of Force India and fifth in the Constructors' Championship.
