"There is always a need to talk if you don’t have the performance you expect, even in terms of the engine. But without Ferrari we wouldn’t have gotten into Formula 1, which is why we need to be a little patient now. Because they're currently spending time when things aren't going so well,”He explained Steiner.
"Of course, we are pushing for things to get better again. So as we race now, it’s not nice to put it mildly. We can’t keep up with the middle of the field and drive in the background, which is definitely not fun,”Admits the team leader Haas, who otherwise has an understanding for being Ferrari engine due to various technical FIA guidelines slowed last season. “But it is right to get an explanation if the engine will not be better next season." Steiner he also spoke of rumors that he could Haas in the future replaced the motor partner and switched to Renault.
The background to these rumors lies in the fact that The French at the same time for the season 2021 they no longer have any partner teams since McLaren goes to Mercedes. Theoretically we would have a vacancy for Haas. "Renault would also be willing to supply us with engines,He admits Steiner. Nevertheless, the exchange would be problematic. “We also get other parts from Ferrari. This makes it difficult to find such a partner, because our entire factory is set up to buy certain parts. Especially in terms of changing the policy, it is very difficult to make such a change."
Steiner yet concludes that for the team Haas it would not make sense to from Renault they only get the engine and the rest of the parts would continue to get from Ferrari.
