Haas defends 2018 design as rivals voice suspicions
Amid accusations the new Haas F1 car bears striking similarities to last year's Ferrari, team principal Guenther Steiner has defended his team's 2018 design.
The impressive pace of the Haas at the opening round in Australia led a number of rivals to voice suspicions about the car. The accusations are based on Haas' close relationship with Ferrari, which supplies as many common components to the American team as is allowed under the regulations.
Those common components include the engine, gearbox and suspension but must not, according to the regulations, include aerodynamic surfaces.
