The previous season had been a tragedy for the Kannapolis team, the losing streak of poor results continued and little could be done to change course. With the difficult situation and the confirmation that the car would not be improved, the drivers could not enter Q2 frequently and points were a practically unattainable goal. Although there are modifications counted in 2021, Guenther Steiner admits that this year will not be fundamental for them, far from it. All the effort will be focused on the 2022 regulation change, which is the one that must be well prepared and this is the priority at Haas. The Italian manager expects them to be ahead of their direct adversaries, Alfa Romeo and Williams, but being aware that the spotlight is not on this year.
2021 they don’t care, 2022 is key for Haas
“Our goal for 2022 is to get back to where we were in 2018. Starting next week we will only work on the wind tunnel for 2022. If nothing goes wrong, we will do nothing on the 2021 car, we will fully focus on 2022 and go to the full with it. Even so, the ideal would be to leave behind Alfa Romeo and Williams, it will be difficult as we expect a tight battle like last year. Our Ferrari engine will be better, Alfa will also have it, but maybe we can catch up with Williams. Last year we were too far away and it was not possible to fight for more “, the Italian manager had concluded in words collected in the RTL media.
