The Haas F1 drivers didn’t earn any points in Suzuka, even though they did everything they could…
Gunther Steiner, team leader: “It’s a difficult race, but we did everything we could. We were close to fighting our opponents, we chose a different strategy for Niko – and it almost worked. Kevin and I rolled back because of a spin when Sergio Perez bumped into him.
The situation is not easy, but for now we will continue to work with what we have, and if a faster car comes along, we will be ready.”
Nico Hulkenberg (14th): “At the start I was lucky to avoid any problems when two cars collided in front of me. I took advantage of this situation by passing three or four cars within the radius. Then I won another position.
We started the race with the idea of making three pit stops because our car is not working well with the tires, so I think this decision was the right one.”
Kevin Magnussen (15th): “I was hit in the rear wheel, I spun, I had to enter the pit lane too early for a two-stop strategy, given the high wear of our car’s tires. At that moment I didn’t want to make three pit stops, ultimately this incident ruined the race for me.”
