Of course, this result is likely what the As Team's leader Steiner hoped to see.
After all, if a driver earns points, the cost of the Super License for the next season is based on the number of points earned that must be paid to the FIA.
And this payment to the FIA is an additional budget expenditure for Haas.
Originally, Haas wasn't in F1 for business; Haas is a machine tool company, and they have a team in the paddock purely because the owner of Haas likes F1.
So to the Haas Team's owner, it is really just a big toy.
And the reason Steiner became the leader of the Haas Team isn't because his leadership abilities are particularly strong, or because he has remarkable development abilities like Binotto.
His main ability, in fact, is helping the team save money.
However, passion will fade one day, and as time goes by, the owner's enthusiasm for F1 will inevitably begin to wane, especially since Haas has consistently been at the bottom of the rankings.
