'A combination of glamour and racing, it's an excellent venue'

Haas team boss Gunther Steiner casts his gaze on next weekend in Monaco. The Italian engineer needs to calm his drivers down, he explained. The US Formula 1 team is currently seventh in the Constructors' Championship with eight points.

Steiner spoke about the charms of the streets of Monaco in the Haas press release. "Monaco to all of us means mixing glamour with racing. It’s an event which has been there a long time, a lot of people go there and a lot of people dream to go there one day because it’s an outstanding location and an important one for Formula 1."

Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen have combined for eight points for the team. Whether there will be points again this weekend remains to be seen. Saturday's qualifying (as almost every year in Monaco) looks set to determine a lot.

Steiner explained what is expected of him on such a weekend. "It’s very important to keep on top of it and to keep drivers as calm as possible. Already the stress of it is enough in Monaco because it’s high-speed through a lot of tight walls."
