Kevin Magnussen says he has lost no confidenc𒊎e amid the Haas Formula 1 team's ongoing struggles, believing it ha💦s been "unlucky" to be hit in its "weakest spot" by ongoing tyre struggles.

Haas has slumped to second-from-bottom in the constructors' championship after a four-race streak without points, with its iꦺmpressive qualifying pace often fading dramatically on raceday.

Both Magnussen and teammate Romain Grosjean have lamented a lack of gri♛p as the biggest issue with the Haas V🍒F-19 car, leading to frustration given the team's pace and ability to lead the midfield on occasion in qualifying. Magnussen qualified an impressive fifth in Austria three weeks ago.

"I think this se൩ason it’s tougher because we see such great potential in the car in qualifying, and then we can’t extract any of that potential in the race," Magnussen said.

"It’s extra frustrating because of the potential that we see. I still, even though we don’t score points right now, I still find it amazing that we can qualify where we are qualifying. When you are part of this team and you see iꦍt from the inside - we shouldn’t be able to ch🎀allenge Red Bull in qualifying pace. It shouldn’t be possible.

"When you see what w💙e have to deal with compared to those big teams, it’s crazy that we can even challenge them. We are disappointed we can’t do it in the race, but there’s got to be a way to find out why and we are working on that."

Magnussen was full of praise for how Haas was trying to get to the bottom of its issues, saying its size was its bi🎀ggest limitation compared to many of its rivals.

"I think the team is working very well - we just need hours or more people, but we haven’t got thꦑat. We haven’t got either 💎of those things," Magnussen said.

"The work they’re doing is very good. It’s easier when you’ve got 1,000 people looking at a problem than 100 looking at a proble♛m. We don’t even have that, because th♊e whole 200 people, we’re not all engineers, so it’s tough problem to overcome for us right now. I’m confident we can do it over time."

Asked by♋ mahbx.com if he had any reservations over his long-term prospects at Haas, Magnussen said: "I haven’t got any concerns.

"We’ve been in a way 🐼unlucky that we’ve been hit with this kind of problem, a tyre problem, and fair enough other teams can so൩rt it out.

"It’s just we’ve been hit in our weake𒆙st spot I guess, and hopefully some time that will change. We’ll w🐬ork it out eventually."
