Repeated Haas issues too 'consuming' for the team

MEXICO CITY -- Guenther Steiner says Haas is due some good luck after a bizarre incident limited Romain Grosjean to just three laps of running on Friday practice.

Early in the afternoon session Grosjean, who sat out of FP1 in place of Antonio Giovinzzi, spun on the exit of the final corner and, having come to a stop, slowly got his car moving again. As the Frenchman got up to speed again on the run towards Turn 1 his left-rear tyre delaminated, spreading bits of rubber and debris all over the circuit.

Steiner revealed the extent of the damage gave the team too much work to get Grosjean back on track before the end of the session.
