The Haas Formula 1 team was “blindsided” by good results during the 2018 season and failed to see its ’19 car problems early enough, according to team boss Gunther Steiner.
Haas’s 2018 was its third season in F1 and it went on to finish fifth in the constructors’ championship with 93 points.
Asked if the Bahrain Grand Prix, the second race of the season, was the first clue about Haas’s tyre problems, Steiner said: “No, that’s the first time it came to light that something isn’t right, and we found we could not manage the tyres.
