Haas will enjoy the dream of P3 before likely slip

Haas principal Guenther Steiner is not currently interested in explaining their P5 finish in Bahrain, he wants to live the dream.

The American outfit had been on an alarming decline over the past few seasons, with 2021 proving to be rock bottom as Haas finished the season without a point, while it was a rare occurrence for them to mix it up with any of the midfield runners ahead.

A poor 2021 was fully expected, since Haas had put all of their focus into 2022, seeing the new regulations as their opportunity to move back up the order.

The ideal scenario was to be fighting for some points again, so Haas were in dreamland when Kevin Magnussen qualified P7 for the first race in Bahrain, turning that into a P5 finish, helped by a double retirement for Red Bull, as he marked his return to racing with Haas in style.

One round in to the likely 23-race season, Haas find themselves sitting P3 in the Constructors’ Championship, behind Ferrari and Mercedes.

So, can they retain that spot and finish the season there? Sadly, Steiner does not “think that will stay for long”, so his team are going to “enjoy the dream”.
