Haas, no rush to decide who will be the reserve driver

Gunther steiner, team principal of Haas, stated that the team is focused on a series of delicate aspects in view of the debut in Formula 1 and that therefore the choice of the reserve driver is not a priority. Each team has a driver who accompanies the team on the track, ready to take over in the event of one of the starting drivers being unable to drive. At the moment, however, Haas is allocating all its resources to allow Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez to have the car ready for the tests at the end of February in Barcelona, ​​and is not looking for a third driver.

“We have not yet chosen who will be our reserve driver, we have put this topic aside for nowor - Steiner said - At the stage we are in, a third driver would be of no use to us, we are concentrating our efforts on more important aspects of development. We will evaluate some GP2 and GP3 drivers but there is no rush". Steiner also ruled out hiring the youngster Charles Leclerc, Monegasque Formula 3 driver, who had been linked to Haas.
