Steiner: I didn’t talk to Ricciardo about the contract

Kevin Magnussen will remain in Haas F1 next season and there are questions about the continuation of Mick Schumacher’s career. The team is considering several options, the decision has not yet been made…

Gunther Steiner, team leader: “No news yet. We are considering several options, I talk a lot about this with Gene Haas. I will not tell you the date when we will make a decision to avoid the next question. We will give ourselves time to make the best decision, and if it turns out to be the right decision, we will find out next year.

We spoke to a lot of riders, Mick is also on our list. He performed well in Canada, Austria and Silverstone, let’s see how it goes in Zandvoort. We are in no hurry. We need to understand if this is the best solution for us – saying goodbye to Mick. We consider his candidacy on an equal footing with the others.

Mick is progressing, he had some good races, but we need stability. We want to move forward. That’s the goal.

Colton Herta? It’s not on our list. We need a driver with experience in Formula 1. Last year we invited two newcomers, now we are looking for someone who has already driven in Formula 1. I have spoken to many people, but I will not mention them by name so as not to generate rumours. First, we need to understand clearly who we want to get.

Daniel Ricardo? It is clear that he is free at the moment. I haven’t spoken to him since he announced he would be leaving McLaren at the end of the year. I have no idea what he’s going to do. I think he needs to figure out what he wants to do in life. I haven’t talked to Riccardo about the contract.”
