Haas F1 team principal Gunther Steiner has revealed that the team will aim to confirm their driver line up as soon as possible, preferably after the Italian Grand Prix.
Many mid-field teams are yet to announce their line-up for 2017 and Haas are a team who do not want to leave it too late.

“I don’t think you want to waste this long," said Steiner. "If you know where you are it’s better than this uncertainty. We are very confident we can say after Monza."
“Last year we said the same that we would tell the drivers and we did it – maybe a few weeks late but we didn’t wait until [the winter]. Normally we do what we say, or we try to. It gives the whole team certainty and you can focus on the car and performance.”
Steiner also said that they are not writing off the rest of the season in terms of development.
“We just want to get better at manufacturing. We just changed our internal organisation, so these parts were developed sometime in March, April, and just went into production a little bit later, and therefore they come later.”
“We didn’t want to rush them because there’s no point. We want to get better at our game as well for next year because the second year is the most difficult one for everybody.”
“We are doing as much as possible not to make mistakes in the second year because everybody’s out waiting for us to say ‘we told you so’ – you guys basically! It’s you people,” added Steiner.
