Haas team principal Guenther Steiner says that Renault is getting desperate in its attempts to keep Renault behind in the constructor’s standings. Renault currently leads Haas by eight points as the two battle to finish the season in fourth place.
Steiner says that Renault’s desperation became evident after the Italian Grand Prix when the team reported Haas’ car, believing it to be illegal. An investigation followed and Romain Grosjean’s sixth-place finish was stripped after it was found his floor was not in compliance with regulations.
Renault has slipped away in the second half of the season and is struggling to finish ahead of the Amercian team at recent races.
