From an almost double points-haul to two late-race crashes, Guenther Steiner says Haas aren’t leaving Miami with nothing, “we’re leaving with broken parts”.
Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen lined up 15th and 16th on the Miami Grand Prix grid but both found themselves inside the top-ten when the Safety Car was deployed for Lando Norris’ crash.

“Well,” he added, “not with nothing, we’re leaving with broken parts.”
The result meant Haas stay P8 in the
