Formula 1 | Haas, Steiner keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground: "We don't want to get to our heads"

Despite the excellent performances shown this morning, Gunther Steiner doesn't want to let it go to his head. According to the Haas Team Principal, in fact, the team almost has to ignore the many compliments received in recent weeks, focusing their attention on the track and the next weekend on Australian soil.

Magnussen and Grosjean, in fact, managed to place themselves behind the top group made up of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull in this morning's free practice. An incredible result if we consider the very little experience of the US team. Stenier certainly appreciated the praise of the last few days, but he prefers to focus on results and on a car that can give Gene a lot of satisfaction Haas.

Here are the words of Gunther Steiner: “It is flattering to receive all these compliments and confirms the excellent work done during the winter, but we must be realistic and keep our feet firmly planted on the ground. We hope to be in the top group, but the pressure from the tests must not make us make mistakes. We were good and we get compliments, ok, but this won't bring us points. We hope to compete with McLaren and Renault: it would be an absolutely unprecedented and strange situation."
