F1 | Steiner: “Formula 1 no longer has a core group”

According to the team principal of Haas, this championship has shown that there is no team that cannot be competitive and for this reason, it is no longer possible to talk about the middle of the group.

“After the tests we were cautiously optimistic, it is still a difficult task since all the other teams are very good, there is no one who is not competitive. There is no longer a center group, there are the first three and then the rest. Anyone from fourth to tenth can fight for the points, we've seen it. We are fifth now and it's nice to be there. After the tests this goal seemed possible but we were aware that it would be hard work, as it still is".

However, the American team lost many points, also due to the mistakes made by Romain Grosjean:

“I think that with the potential of the car that we have shown in the last three races, it is possible to aim for fourth place. Whether we get it or not, that's a different question. I don't want to be arrogant and say that we will finish fourth because in no way is it a given. We are competing with three very strong teams for this position. We will try, we will give our best and hopefully we can finish fourth, we just have to make sure we don't lose any more points.".
