Magnussen: Haas F1 team in “survival mode” until Austin updates
The US-owned Haas team has struggled with race performance throughout the season, although Kevin Magnussen managed to earn a point with a 10th place finish in Singapore. However, their performance in the Japanese Grand Prix was disappointing, with Magnussen finishing 14th and teammate Nico Hulkenberg finishing 15th. Magnussen acknowledged that the upcoming race in Qatar will also be challenging until the team receives updates in Austin. The team principal, Guenther Steiner, emphasized the positives from the Japanese GP weekend, including strong pit stops and their competitiveness against AlphaTauri. Steiner admitted that they have had limited time to develop the updated car and hopes it will work as expected in Austin, but if not, they can learn from it for next year.
