Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner is disappointed with yet another issue at the Australian Grand Prix two weeks ago, as an error was made again during Romain Grosjean's pit stop during the race.
It was the second year in a row where a tyre wasn't fitted on properly at the Australian Grand Prix. According to Steiner, being in Australia is just something that 'jinxes' the team at this point.
“It was one of those things that just happened, and it always seems to happen in Australia," Steiner said.
"It seems to be a jinxed place for us. It was on the front-left wheel. We had problems last year with it and again this year. It was just an error on the pit stop.
"Again, you can’t do anything else but to practice, stay calm and just do a good job, like we did all year following Australia. In 20 other races in 2018 we didn’t have an issue on pit stops, so I’m confident we can get out of this one again."
