After putting Schumacher alongside fellow rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nikita Mazepin in 2021, Steiner wants to avoid a similar💮 headache next year.

“Still thinking, you know, we wa🌌nt to ta🍒ke our time to make sure that next year at no stage we think ‘we did this too quick’ – because we don’t need to be in a hurry now,” Steiner said in Singapore.

“There is not a lot out there anymore on open seats and drivers. There’s not a lot of options, so we just want to make sure that we take the right decision and have no r🐻egrets next year.”

During Haas’ time in the sport, they have tended to favour expℱerienced drivers.

In 2016, Romain Grosjean headed their challenge alongside Esteban Gutierrez, who had one year already under his belt꧃.

From 2017ဣ to 2020, Haas kept the same pairing of Grosj꧑ean and Magnussen before switching them both out for Schumacher and Mazepin, mainly due to financial reasons.

With Haas and F1 as a whole in a better spot, Steiner has more freedom to choose his driver pairin👍g.

He added: “I 🦩would say I’m done in the moment with rookies for the foreseeable future,” Steiner stated.

“But I mean, we need to see what is best for the team or 🧸who’s the best person or who is the best driver to ꦏbring the team forward.”
