Haas chief Guenther Steiner claims that there is lots of interest from drivers to join the side for next season.

Guenther Steiner has said that there is significant interest in Haas' 2019 seat - however, he ensured the team aren't rushing into a conclusive decision regarding their line-up and the decision will be made after the summer break.

Haas has been one of the more impressive performers this season, in just their third season competing in the sport.

The American team are in fifth place in the constructors' championship and are only 16 points off Renault, who occupy P4.

Steiner believes that Haas don't need to chase other drivers as they are now coming to them following their solid performances this season.

"I wouldn't say we are shopping around," Steiner told Crash.net.

"A lot of people are shopping with us, put it this way. There are people asking for obvious reasons and they want to see what we are doing. If somebody is asking that doesn't mean they want to come, in my opinion, they might jutst be asking to see what other people are doing.

"We will decide after the holiday what we are going to do, but at the moment we don't think about it. There are a lot of people asking, and it is part of my job to know what is happening in the marketplace."
