Struggling F1 outfit Haas is keeping the team united and hopes high for 2022 amid a particularly difficult championship campaign. “I’m just angry he didn’t invite me,” laughed team boss Gunther Steiner at Sochi. “I never said they shouldn’t be friends, I just always said they don’t have to be friends. “Until now I haven’t met a single teammate that is easy to fight against. “I’ve always said that I didn’t see any problems with Mick, but as long as nothing was signed, I couldn’t go public and announce anything,” Steiner said. “We are three parties and it is a decision that we made together,” he added, referring to Haas, Schumacher and Ferrari. As for owner Gene Haas’ recent Maranello visit, Steiner said that went smoothly.
