Haas has moved to🍎 defend the ambitious target laid out 𒆙by its new Formula 1 backers Rich Energy of beating Red Bull. 

Rich Energy CEO William Storey set the bold target of challenging Red Bull168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: “both on and off the track” during a team launch event💛 in London on Thursday, in which Haas unveiled a new black-and-gold livery for 2019 in♌ a move influenced by its new sponsorship deal with the British energy drinks company.

Haas team principal Gunther Steiner backed Rich Energy’s aim, adding “you never achieve anything” without setting targets while stressing that the Amer꧋ican squad would “try hard” to achieve the goal. 

When asked if he sensed an opportunity to capitalise on💙 Red Bull’s gamble to switch to Honda engines, Steiner replied: “It is ꦰdifficult to say because Honda will get better. 

“They got better every year, and they’re going to get better aga༒in. For sure Red Bull will help them to get better in my opinion, because as you know, they are a good team. 

“They’re always there or thereaboutsཧ. If they can steer them in the right direction, but for sure, Honda had a little bit 🌼of reliability issues last year, so let’s see what’s coming this year. 

✨“I cannot look into the future to say how good they๊ are, how bad they are. I don’t wish anybody bad, but if we are better, I’m happy. 

“It can go both ways. There is an opportunity but 🐓let’s wait until after the test to see how everybody is and how good we are.” 

Haas took its best-ever finish in F1 in 2018 by claiming fifth place in the constructors' championsh༺ip, behind only Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and Renault. 

Driver Kevin Magnussen echoed Steiner’s comments and insisted there is no harm in setting out bigꦉ aims for the future. 

“I think it’s great to have big ambiti𒐪on,” Magnussen said.&𝄹nbsp;

“You hear William say that he wants to take on Red Bull and he started a company that is going to be in direct competition with Red Bull outside of Formula 1, so💯 you need to have this kind of ambition to succeed. So there’s nothing wrong with that at all. 

“I doubt that it will be this year, but iಞn the future no-one knows what the future holds. 

“There’s g𓆉oing to be regulation changes and maybe budget caps, who knows what can happen? So you can’t say what is possible at the moment. 

“But if you don’t believe in it then for sure it won’t happen.💛”
