F1 comeback kings Haas return to form in style

Haas boss Guenther Steiner said the U.S.-owned Formula One team's return to form in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix could not have been scripted any better.

Kevin Magnussen finished fifth for the team at the Sakhir desert track on Sunday.

The result was the outfit's highest finish since the Austrian Grand Prix in 2018, their best season in F1 yet.

It took them from last in the final standings of 2021 to third after this season's opening weekend, behind only powerhouses Ferrari and Mercedes.

"If you think about the last two years and then coming back like this, you cannot write a story like this," Steiner told Sky Sports F1.
