Steiner baffled by Haas' 'worst weekend' in F1

Haas boss Guenther Steiner has no answer for why his team was so off the pace at the French Grand Prix, which he labelled its worst weekend since joining the F1 grid four years ago.

Haas was slow from the get-go at Paul Ricard, with Kevin Magnussen only just scraping out of Q1. While Romain Grosjean retired before the end of the race Magnussen finished 17th, with only the two Williams cars -- which have been a distant last all year -- behind him.

The American team came into the season looking like the strongest team in the midfield but has now suffered two difficult races -- at the previous race, Magnussen said it was the worst he had ever felt in a race car.
