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 aܫvoid a simiꦆlar headache next year.

“Still thinking, you know, we want tℱo take 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. Thereౠ’s not a lot of options, so we just want to make 🤡sure that we take the right decision and have no regrets next year.”

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

In 2016, Romain Grosjean hꦏeaded their challenge𒀰 alongside Esteban Gutierrez, who had one year already under his belt.

From 2017 to𒆙 2020, Haas kept the same pairing of Grosjean and Magnussen before switching them both out for Schumacher and Mazepin, m🥃ainly due to financial reasons.

With Haas and F1 as a whole in a better spot, Steiner has more freedom to choose his dr🌸iver pairing.

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

“But I mean, we need to see w🅺hat is best for the team or who’s the best perso𝔍n or who is the best driver to bring the team forward.”
