Formula 1 races should not be so heavily💝 influenced by tyre performance, according to 𝕴Haas team principal Guenther Steiner.

Haas has struggled for pace since the Melbourne season-opener and has attributed its lack of perfor🍒m🍨ance down to being unable to get its tyres into the optimum working window.

For the third race in a row, the American squad failed to record any points in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, leaving the team eighth in th🐟e 2019 constructors’ championship.

“It’s so disappointing be🔯cause we’ve got a good car,” Steiner said.

“We should🍬n’t always be talking about whether a tyre works or not. It’s interesting but it’s not 🙈Formula 1 in my opinion.

“‘Did you get th﷽e tyre to work?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Oh, then I’m fast.’ ‘My tyre didn’t work so then I’m slow…’

“We spend millions and millions to develop these cars and then you’re out of the window and we cann💜ot get going.”

Steiner said Haas knows what is causing its “very serious” tyre trouꦐbles but it is yet to find a cure.

“Other people can get it to work so we need to get it to work,” he ex🔯pl💜ained.

“There’s no point saying ‘Oh, it’s not working’. Nine teams can get it to work. Who’s better? Who’s worse? We are absolutely the worst one to get it to work. I’m very conscious about that one.”

“It’s very🌺 serious, it’s disappointing because you go slower. That’s what it is. We know the cause now, we just neꦍed to find out how to fix it.

“We can talk for half an hour about it, we know what it is, we just need to fix it. If you ask me ‘what is [the fix]?’ I don’t know, otherwise I would fix it.”

Asked how confident he is about Haas’ prospects for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix, Steiner ⛄replied: “Well my confidence level at the moment is not very high, obviously, as you 🐽can imagine!

“Confident? No. We๊ need to see where we are g♐oing.”
