Guenther Steiner hopes to resolve Kevin Magnussen's contract situation much earlier after the high-profile exit of Mick Schumacher last season.
Haas waited until the final weeks of the 2022 season before finalising their driver line-up. Magnussen always had a contract for 2023, but Schumacher's deal expired at the end of last season and team principal Steiner took his time before making a call on the 24-year-old's future.
Schumacher was replaced by the more experienced Nico Hulkenberg, who was given a multi-year deal. That means Steiner does not have to worry about the German's seat for this year, but he will have a decision to make regarding Magnussen.
