Schumacher sharply criticises Haas: "Great tension"

Nico Hülkenberg had to park his Haas racer in Las Vegas shortly before the chequered flag fell. Nevertheless, the German's summary was good. He explained: "My race pace wasn't that bad."

And Haas team boss Günther Steiner was also relatively satisfied, even though there was once again nothing to be gained. Hülkenberg's team-mate Kevin Magnussen only finished 13th.

"I don't think we did anything wrong. Both drivers fought hard to get the best out of their cars. I think they managed to do that. And we stayed ahead of some of our normal opponents," said Steiner.

Nevertheless, Haas remains the worst team in Formula 1 with another "zero"; with just twelve points, the racing team is tenth and last.

"The question is always what you want. Do you want to be in Formula 1, do you want to earn money and accept all this? That would be the Olympic motto: Being there is everything," said Sky expert Ralf Schumacher, criticising the Haas attitude.

The former Formula 1 driver perceives a "great deal of tension" at Haas and believes that the team may have to "restructure" if it wants to make progress in the medium term.
Schumacher: "If that's what you want, then I think it's clear and recognisable that it won't work like this and that it's not enough for the current Formula 1."
