Haas: Gutiérrez should soon be set for 2017

Haas F1 Team should soon make its decision regarding the extension of Esteban Gutiérrez for 2017. The Mexican, national star of the weekend's event contested at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, expressed his impatience in leaving the American team two weeks to make his choice before studying the proposals of other teams.

“He’ll know what’s going on in two weeks., promised Haas F1 Team Principal Günther Steiner in the paddock of the Mexican Grand Prix. We will tell him in two or three weeks what we will do with him. The season is almost over anyway. »

“I don’t want to speculate on his future this weekend, said Günther Steiner. I want everyone to focus on the race and be able to focus on their performance. He qualified well again last weekend (14th on the grid in Austin) before encountering brake problems during the race which prevented him from showing what he could do (retirement). We must therefore concentrate on this weekend's race without speculating about who will do what. »

Esteban Gutiérrez has still not scored a single point with Haas F1 Team despite five 11th places this year.
