Haas boss Guenter Steiner suspects Italian Antonio Giovinazzi got caught up in Friday’s winds in FP1 before crashing his car into the tire barriers.
On Friday in Austin, Antonio Giovinazzi replaced Kevin Magnussen at the wheel of Haas during PR1 but the Italian was only able to complete three laps before hitting the barriers. Il ya eu peu de dégâts sur la VF-22, mais en voulant se dégager de la barrière, Giovinazzi a brûlé l’embrayage du motor Ferrari, ce qui a forcé l’équipe à garder la monoplace dans le de garage pour le reste .
“It’s okay because the car will be FP2 ready. The clutch just burned out, it overheated.” Steiner told Sky Sports after his first free practice session in Austin on Friday.
“We can’t risk not changing it, because if you have a breakdown, you won’t be able to participate in EL2. We’ll fix the car, it’s the front spoiler and the sidewalls. It’s obviously not ideal for it to go into the wall in round three, it’s not great, to say the least. .
“I haven’t spoken to Antonio yet, I think he got caught in a gust of wind. That’s my guess. After that, the first lap was right. It’s like that, but we’re going back to EL2.”
“Kevin [Magnussen] It will be in the car, we will have the test tires [à tester pour Pirelli]It’s not perfect, but we’ll get through it.”
