No true midfield in F1 anymore, says Haas boss Guenther Steiner

Haas boss Guenther Steiner thinks each of the seven teams behind Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull are now equally capable of challenging for points every weekend.

On pure pace Haas' car has traditionally held the 'best of the rest' spot behind the top three teams, who are usually comfortably clear of the rest on Saturdays and Sundays. However, Haas has squandered several opportunities to score big points and currently sits in fifth behind Renault and McLaren.

Aside from 10th-placed Williams, every team has recorded at least one top-six finish in the opening ten races. Steiner says this makes it harder for a team like Haas to consistently score the most points available.
