Will Haas have to reconsider the concept of a race car?

He is also from Belgium Haas team traveled without points - sixth in the last seven races. It should be noted, however, that they are Americans even before the start of the season were considered the strongest midfielder team. Only in a chaotic race in Hockenheimin sta points won both racers. In doing so, however, their race car is in They connect performed better than in most races before the summer break. But this time they missed her final speed on the planes. Grosjean lost according to the team 40 seconds behind Daniel Ricciard, because he could not overtake Renault and as a result he gradually lost place after city towards the end of the race.

The Haas race car obviously does not find a middle ground between vacuum and air resistance.

"I don't know if the problem lies in the concept of the car, or we just need to analyze where we need progress or improvements,”He thought after the race in Spa Gunther Steiner, team boss Haas. "More vacuum always helps, but no one wants air resistance. It's a middle ground,”He explained South Tyrol. And it was precisely this path that Haas apparently did not find in Spa.

Günther Steiner, the head of the American team, also questions the very concept of the car.

"We need to re-evaluate where and when we need vacuum and where air resistance. We are missing something in all areas,” he says Steiner and explains that they have to do it easily better work. In Spa Grosjean imel required speedto easily score points if you weren’t stuck on the planes for Ricciardo. For Americans, however, it is bad conscience also in terms of race v Monza, where top speed is even more important. “Of course, we are aware that this is not encouraging,”So Steiner. However, for Haas there is little hope, because in Italy they will race with a different package. "You need even less vacuum there. So it could be a little better,He added Steiner.
