Kevin Magnussen didn't have the smoothest of weekends in Austria, with a suspension failure ending his qualifying and a gearbox problem pulling curtains on his race. Despite the disappointment, the Dane was happy to see the car was quick, with teammate Romain Grosjean coming away with a sixth place finish.
Haas has now tallied up the same amount of points in the championship this year after nine races than they did in the whole of 2016, the team's debut season. Magnussen believes that Ferrari's engine has a major role to play in the new found speed.

Doornbos Predicts Hamilton Will Win a Race This Season as Ferrari Close In
"It shows very good for Ferrari because this is an engine and a power sensitive circuit and the Ferrari is competitive so it shows well on the engine and proves what the engine is capable of and what it can do.
"Maybe it is also to do with the tyres as we have been able to make them work and maybe other teams didn't. It is hard to say as we didn't expect this weekend to be our best weekend so far in terms of competitiveness which it has been.
"Nothing has gone to plan a lot. Here we look quite competitive and then we break the suspension for unknown reasons. This seasons seems to throw up a lot of surprises."

At least he's being a bit subtle about it, unlike his team mate!

At least he didn't say it was because of the fantastic Dallara chassis...?
