“We also need to respect the race director. I cannot sit here now and say it would never have fallen off, but it wouldn't have fallen off because there is Zylon on top of it, and Zylon doesn't break.” “We didn't get the call saying: 'hey, guys, your front wing, there is a piece flapping off, what is your opinion about that?’ “I share the annoyance, and it is more an annoyance that we were not even consulted about it,” explained Steiner to MotorLAT and other media outlets. Steiner wants team manager, Peter Crolla, to bring up the matter to discussion with F1 race director at the British GP to ensure a better handling of similar situations in the future. Gunther Steiner, Haas F1 team boss, said that he was irritated with the fact that the FIA had failed to contact the team to enquire about the damaged of the front wing and possible threat to other drivers. In Monaco they don't start us because it started drizzling, and then here I'm called in because I have a scratch on my front wing.” “Think back to Jeddah last year, Lewis Hamilton won the race with half a front wing, which I think is correct. The front wing was safe, it was not broken off,” said Magnussen. The FIA issued the flag for the fear that the damaged front wing could be a danger to other drivers after Esteban Ocon was heard complaining about it to his team over the radio.Īfter the Canadian Grand Prix, the Dane driver said that Ocon’s comment had influenced the FIA’s decision as he stated that they haven’t had consistency in dealing with similar situations in the past. This forced him to pit early and lose valuable points. During last weekend’s race in Canada, Haas’ driver Kevin Magnussen was issued a black and orange flag due to a “scratch” on his front wing after brushing against Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton at the start of the race.
