Haas Formula One team to use spotters in Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying

Haas is hoping to solve the issues it has faced with traffic in qualifying by introducing IndyCar-style spotters at this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The American outfit has been left rueing traffic in qualifying on several occasions this season, with Kevin Magnussen caught out in the last two rounds. The Dane saw his Q2 run in Monaco hindered, while he failed to progress from the first segment of qualifying in Canada after suffering more traffic-related problems. In an attempt to avoid similar scenarios in Baku, Haas is set to delegate certain personnel from both sides of the garage to focus on monitoring GPS data.
