Haas and Nico Hulkenberg were called to the stewards over two alleged breaches following qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix.
The Haas Formula 1 team has received a reprimand as Nico Hulkenberg was called to see the stewards twice during the Austrian Grand Prix. Hulkenberg was noted for allegedly entering the fast lane at inappropriate times during qualifying at the Red Bull Ring. The team was penalized for bringing Hulkenberg into the queue hastily, attributing the rush to the challenging garage location where cars regularly slow down, making it difficult to judge suitable gaps. Despite the reprimand, Haas avoided further punishment for a second alleged negligence as the stewards recognized the driver’s attempt to merge at a suitable gap but was obstructed by another car. The Haas F1 team’s incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible team decisions in the fast-paced world of Formula 1 racing.
