Haas still learning as a team

Haas is still in learning mode according to team principal Gunther Steiner. The American team looks set to finish fifth in the constructors' championship behind the top three teams and Renault.

The team's third year in Formula One has been a successful one according to Steiner but he did admit that they hadn't fully got on top of the Pirelli tyres still and highlighted it as an aspect they needed to improve on next year.

"There is never one key thing that you learn. You just grow as a team and get better by doing it," he said. "The only thing which helps is time. For sure, you should be better in year three than in year two, and we were.

Having targetted fourth in the standings, Haas might be disappointed to finish behind Renault if they cannot overcome the 24-point deficit to their rivals but with clear aims already in mind for next season, they will hope their improvements continue next year.
