If last season was already quite chaotic for the American team, the forecasts for this 2021 seem even worse. After finishing ninth with just three points and one of the worst cars on the grid, Günther Steiner has confirmed that there will be no developments in his next car.
Haas bets everything on 2022
Taking into account that this year we will not see big changes compared to last year’s cars, except for a miraculous surprise Haas will start from a fairly low point and once the last words of its sporting director have been seen, everything indicates that 2021 could be a real hell for the team of Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.
On the other hand and looking at the situation from another perspective, the reality is that Haas is not at its best economic moment and seeing that in 2022 the new regulation will come into force, focusing fully on next year’s project from this moment could end being a great advantage for them if they can do a good job.
In a statement for the German station N-TV, Günther Steiner spoke about all this: “Our goal is to return to where we were in 2018, but we are aware that this will be a year of transition, so From next week we will only use the wind tunnel for 2022. If everything goes wrong with the 2021 car, we will do nothing”.

Confidence for a good start
Finally, and despite focusing his work on 2022, Günther Steiner does not want to throw away 2021 without even having started: “Our goal remains to be ahead of Williams and Alfa Romeo, even if it is a tough fight like last year. Our engine will certainly be better, Alfa’s as well, but maybe we can get to Williams ”.
Of course, the big goal for Haas will be to adapt Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin in their first year in Formula 1: “For me it would be a success if at the end of the year we had two riders who have learned a lot and we feel prepared not to make any more mistakes in 2022”Steiner said to end.
