MoneyGram Haas F1 Team drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen finished 17th and 18th at the 2023 Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, Round 15 of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
Kevin Magnussen
It was probably the worst race as we had no pace, the tires were falling apart, and there was no balance. We have a steep hill to climb. It’s confusing, though, because in FP3, we were P7, and today, we were the slowest by a significant margin. There was just no pace – we needed to turn this ship around.
Nico Hulkenberg
The start was pretty much the only positive, to be honest, the only bit of fun after that challenging work. We had no performance, no balance and not good tire management or life, so it was pretty hard work out there. Frankly, we were far from points-worthy this weekend. I think we had made some progress in Zandvoort, but race circumstances somehow hid it. I felt the pace was heading in the right direction. Zandvoort is high-downforce, Singapore is high-downforce, so I hope things will return to normal and we can at least be competitive in the midfield.
Guenther Steiner, Team Principal:
There’s not much to say except the car is not fast enough. You always try to do your best, but the car has no performance, and that’s where you end up when you cannot compete.
