Haas team boss Guenther Steiner claims that any allegations with regards to the team’s step up this season are simply “ridiculous.” He said that if comparisons were being made to the performance of Ferrari, his team certainly must have done something right. Mercedes’ Toto Wolff in particular has been very vocal about his concerns with the extent to which Ferrari supplies resources to Haas.

Commenting on Mercedes’ complete domination over recent years, Steiner told Metro UK:

In response to the allegations, Steiner told F1 Insider:

Meanwhile, Kevin Magnussen returned to the team earlier this year after spending 2021 on the sidelines. The Dane has already scored points for the team in the first two of the three races in 2022.

“It’s a bit surprising” - Alpine team boss on Haas’ performance step-up in 2022

Alpine team boss Otmar Szafnauer claimed that he was surprised to see Haas fighting in the midfield. The 57-year-old now expects the FIA to be thorough in their investigation regarding how similar the American outfit’s car is to that of Ferrari.

As reported by GPFans, Szafnauer expressed his views on the much-improved 2022 Haas challenger, saying:

Szafnauer was previously at Racing Point, now Aston Martin. The team faced similar criticism in 2020 for its car being too similar to Mercedes’ 2019 challenger and for using the latter’s wind tunnel.
