Haas chief Guenther Steiner responded to a "perfect weekend" at the Austrian Grand Prix by boldly claiming his team can "soon" be on the podium.
The American team endured a miserable time last year, failing to score a single point as they, in truth, were simply there to make up the numbers. There were also concerns that the team might go under completely amid funding issues.
Things look much more rosy for Haas these days, though. Their budget remains comparatively tiny for a Formula 1 team, but their on-track fortunes have been revived thanks to a much more competitive car.
