After Saturday’s training in Barcelona, Gunther Steiner commented on the result on Sky Sports, but the conversation turned to a different topic. The head of the Haas F1 team was asked why he was called to the stewards.
“I don’t know,” Steiner replied. I’ll meet them and then I’ll tell you. I think if I share my opinion now, I will be called there a second time. But I take these things very seriously and will give them my opinion. Apparently all because of my words about the fine Nico Hulkenberg got in Monaco. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”
Speaking about the conditions in which the training took place, Steiner said: “It is not clear to what extent the information gathered during this session will be useful to us. It all depends on what awaits us in qualifying. Conditions change quickly and are unlikely to be exactly the same as during training in a few hours.
I think it was important for riders to go out on intermediate tires to feel how they work. But let’s see how the conditions change closer to qualifying. So far the weather radar predicts that the rain front should move away from the circuit, but besides, now nobody expected it. But from somewhere there were clouds. Meanwhile, the forecast is this: the weather should improve. While the rain continues to drizzle.
In general, the situation was not easy: the intermediate tires did not last long and the track was too wet for slicks. But we can expect an interesting development of events!”
In the third practice Nico Hulkenberg showed the 14th time, Kevin Magnussen – 17th.
