“The chassis itself doesn’t seem to be broken, the side impact structure … the engine too, I was told from Ferrari, seems fine, the battery pack too, and then everything else is broken,” Steiner told reporters.
“I think the cost is still high because all the suspension is gone, except the front left. I think there is still some there. The rest is absolutely powder, like carbon powder.
Asked about the cost of the new parts, Steiner said, “I don’t know about the money yet, but these cars, between the gearbox, the whole bodywork, the radiators … half a million to a million (dollars)”. in between.” ,

Ferrari-powered Haas, who finished last in 2021 without a point, have had a strong start to the season and are fifth in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with Denmark’s Kevin Magnussen scoring points.
Steiner said Haas would bring upgrades to the car but with 21 races remaining everything needed to be carefully managed to maximize performance while under budget.
The next round is the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 10 April.
