Haas optimistic strong form will continue in Bahrain

Haas boss Guenther Steiner is sure his team can prevent a repeat of the pit-stop mistakes which ruined its Australian Grand Prix and push for a good haul of points in Bahrain.

Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean were running fourth and fifth at the opening race of the year before back-to-back pit-stop errors saw them return to the track with an incorrectly fitted tyre. The team blamed two separate human errors for the double retirement, something caused by a lack of pit-stop practice over winter testing.

The issue cost Haas a shot at its best-ever result since joining the grid in 2016.
