Maybe yes, they are fast, but recent  races shows no such speed as Haas has in Austria.

It looks to me this comes from more boost from Ferrari engines as fight against Mercedes.

Or I am wrong?

Haas is occasionally able to match FI and Williams. Plus on this occasion both FI and in particular Williams struggled more than usual, Combined with a engine upgrade they were outright 4th quickest in Spielberg. It's to be seen if this will keep going though.

I suspect it's about lucking into the tyre sweet spot

Haas was about "best of the rest" in Australia too. On some circuits they go very well, but they don't have consistency to be that good everywhere.

I think so as well. That was the case at Bahrain in 2016.

They had new engines but according to Sky Sport F1 Italy not the updated ones yet... don't know if this is correct, but they stated this multiple times during the weekend.

Ok, that's it. You're banned from creating any more race threads Paul.

Surely they will make Haastory!

[LuckyStrike1]

Haas haas a recent history of being a bit up and down. The midfield battle haas developed into a very fluctuating battle. 

[Shepherd]

Maybe it has to do with their drivers. Grosjean seem to be either really on it, or struggling with his brakes. Magnussen has eternally bad luck, especially in qualifyings.

[tokengator82]

i think you need a larger sample size than just one race

[Laster]

Haas does this quite a lot. They'll drift in the midfield without making any inpression at all, and suddenly for one race they'll spark into life and be a cut above, before mysteriously slipping back into anonymity. Progress for them will be performing more consistently.

Haasta la vista, baby.

It's a bogey track. In 1997, Prost were quick. A couple of years ago, Williams locked out the front row.

Normal service will resume at Silverstone.

[quickndirty]

As far as I understand, they have limited setup capabilities. For instance, in Baku, they didn't have a setup specifically developed for that track. That may also explain their varying performance from one track to the other.

 

Another interesting thing I noticed is that in Baku, Williams and FI (the Mercedes powered midfield cars) were very fast whereas the rest of the midfield had a hard time keeping up. In Austria, Williams and FI didn't seem to have the same advantage.

Enough with the awful puns, guys.

You're just making Haases of yourselves

[loki]

They colluded with the Russians...

[f1paul]

This Haas to stop immediately! 

[KWSN - DSM]

Short straights, not a lot of high down force corners, improved Ferrari engine, a 'drivers track' Groejean and Magnussen are both better drivers than what appear, and are in general given credit for.

 

[Nonesuch]

Right, it's still a new team relatively speaking. Perhaps the car has more potential than they can normally get out of it - and when things end up going their way they seem to jump forward a bit.
 
Of course Williams also had a dismal early weekend (but decent race) making the midfield a bit smaller than it would otherwise be.

[ANF]

I don't think an engine upgrade would make much difference in Austria anyway. Not as much as when they were normally Haaspirated.

Shirley this thread Hass got to be in the running for whatever accolades the- Lewis avoids Croydon and Where is Ross Brown threads mustered!

At Austria the Force been with them haas.
