Haas held clear-the-air talks after close call

Haas boss Guenther Steiner says that “clear the air” talks were held with both drivers in the wake of their close scrap at Formula 1’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Romain Grosjean held seventh spot, with Kevin Magnussen ninth, with the pair split by Daniil Kvyat, prior to a late Safety Car period.

A slow stop from Toro Rosso enabled Magnussen to move into eighth for the restart, directly behind Grosjean, and dived up the inside of his team-mate into Turn 1.

Light contact was made and Grosjean was forced to take to the run-off on the outside of the corner, re-joining behind Magnussen.

Grosjean launched an attack on Magnussen into Turn 1 four laps later but, on the outside, again found himself needing to take to the run-off.

Magnussen retained seventh through to the chequered flag but Grosjean lost ground and fell behind Carlos Sainz Jr. and Daniil Kvyat.

On the warm-down lap Steiner sternly radioed Magnussen to inform him “the first one you need to come and see is me, please”, and also sent a message to Grosjean “I will sort this out. Stay calm. We will sort this afterwards. Please stay calm.”

Speaking after the race, Steiner said: “The debrief wasn’t difficult. I spoke to both drivers straight after the race, I wanted to clear the air. We cleared the air, we are OK.

“It is neither here nor there and I told them ‘I’m not sitting here until midnight looking at videos to see whose fault it is’. We need to learn from this and move forward.

“We got away quite lucky even if we lost some points, in the end we still had two cars in the points which is always good.

“They have a good relationship between the two of them, they had that before and I wanted to make sure there is nothing said from one of them which upsets the other one, so I got them both straight after the race, we talked it through maybe for 15 minutes and we said ‘We move on from this and don’t do it again’. Can I promise that they won’t do it again? No.”

Steiner also believes the incident was not as dramatic as it appeared on television.

“There is a point where… I don’t want to go into detail about who did what and who did the other, because then we’re sitting here and you’ll have a different opinion and we’ll need to put the video up and I don’t want to do that,” he insisted.

“I think it looked worse than it was, the whole scenario, and that’s it.”
