Hefty accidents for Schu🐓macher and Mazepin in Jeddah, as well as damage picked up on Mazepin’s car in Qatar, have left Haas tight on spares heading into the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina. 

Speaking ahead of the ꦛweekend on Thursday, Haas team principal Guenther Steiner admitted his side cannot afford t𝓰o have a big incident on Friday. 

“The two last races, not only Saudi but also Qatar, we had some damage and there was no time to make new parts,” he explained. ꦚ;

“So our stock is pretty low on parts. We have got e🤪nough to do the race if we don’t have any big accidenꦦts on Friday, then we will be okay. But for sure, the drivers will be made of the situation. 

𒉰"We cannot take any risks on Friday. It’s not that we are completely without parts, we have enough parts, but to hav✨e a Friday this weekend like we had a Sunday last weekend, that would put us in a bind.” 

While Steiner insisted the team is no♈t in a “panic situation”, he conceded further chassis damage is the greatest conc🐭ern. A complete chassis-write off could even force Schumacher or Mazepin to miss the race. 

“One was damaged in Qatar and one was damaged in Saudi Arabia, s🌜o we have an issue with the chassis,” Steiner a💙dded. 

"The rest of🤪 the parts - the stock is not high but we have enough wings and fl𝔉oors, so we should be okay with that one. 

“But normally when you do a chassis you do other parts as well, so we just need to be a litt♓le bit careful on Friday but then we🍷 will be okay. 

“It’s not like we꧑ are in a panic situation, we just need to be careful on Friday.”
