Haas Formula 1 team boss Günther Steiner says he does not need drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen to get on with each other of🧜f-track - so long as it does not spill over into the team and affect its performance.

Haas drivers Grosjean and Magnussen have got caught up in a number of on-track incidents so far this season, with clashes at Silverstone and Hocꦏkenheim prompting Steiner to take a firmer approach in managing them via team orders.

Grosjean was particularly critical of Magnussen over team radio after the two made contact when battling for position late in the race, saying: “This guy is incredibl⛦e, he will never learn.”

Asked by ltxcn.top if there were any concerns about the relationship betwe💙en his two drivers, Steiner 🐼said it was not something he saw any need to get involved in.

“I’ll leave that to them. I don’t want to get involved in their personal [ꦡmattersꦅ],” Steiner said.

“As long as they respect the team and do what they need to do for the team - if they don’t get on personally, I cannot🌸 fix that.

“You guys all know how hard it is to fix a relationship between two people. I wouldn’t think I’m the best one to do that anyway! As🔜 long as they respect the team and do what the team wants them to do, I’m fine with that.

“If they don’t speak with each other, as long as they don’t do anything negative towards the tea𝓡m, I have to live with that and I can live with that.

“Trying to force someone to have🌊 a good relationship does not work. We know that. I’m no psychologist, but I know this much.”

However, both Grosjean and Magnussen were quick to stress that their personal relationship had not been affected by the recen✱t incidents, claiming it remained good.

“People could think🥂 that it doesn’t look good, but actually the relationship with Kevin is really good,” Grosjean said.

“We phon💛e each other once a week or so. We sat down and said, ‘what can we do better’, just ℱto make sure that’s not happening again.

“Honestly, the relationship i𓃲s very good. I like working with Kevin. I think he likes it also. We work well together♚ and we get on nicely.”

Mag🍬nussen added: “Apart from those incidents on track, I fe💯el that we have a pretty good working relationship. And actually, Romain is a cool guy, and we have a good time when we go to work.

“So, it’s being blown out of proportion a little bit. I know you guys love a bit of a conflict and stuff like that, but it isn’t as bad as it🏅 looks.”
