Haas running low on spare parts because of many crashes!

Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner has warned his driver duo of Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean to stop crashing all the time, as the American team is running very low on spare parts.

Romain Grosjean has been good for two big hits in the last three Grands Prix, as he slammed into the wall in Baku and took out two cars in a giant crash in Barcelona. Now, with five races in the next seven weeks, there will be little time to re-stock extra parts, which is a worrying sign for Haas.

"The spare situation with old parts, it's quite bad," Guenther Steiner said according to the official F1-website.

"I think with the spares position we are in now, we had a few crashes lately, so that never helps you.

And at the same time we were planning to do the upgrades, so you had both things going on and that's why you end up with no parts.

"It's one of those things.

"In Monte Carlo, we had issues.

"We had to take some parts off the car just not to lose them, we were conscious to not put anything at risk."

That explains the lack of performance from the two Haas cars. If it weren't for Max Verstappen not qualifying, they would be in P19 and P20, which is strange considering their relatively strong season this year.
