Haas F1 boss Steiner says even getting pole position in the Brazilian GP last weekend would not have saved Schumacher from losing his seat.
The team announced on Thursday that Schumacher will not be retained for next season, and will be replaced bySteiner insisted the final decision was taken recently, with Schumacher only informed on Wednesday that he would not be staying, and Hulkenberg signing his contract the same day.Kevin Magnussen,
"Nothing would have changed," he said."Because you cannot make this decision on an emotional one race or one qualifying result, that would be wrong, it could be wrong both ways." "And then you had the bad things, the crashes. So it's a mix of it. But it was not one event as much as it looks like triggered this, it's a combination of things and the biggest thing is going forward we just want to build up the team again."Guenther Steiner, Team Principal, Haas F1"Therefore it took us so long, we didn't take this decision as people think already before the summer, it took us this long to decide what is the best for the team.
"What Nico brings in, he's been with three or four teams before, so he has the experience and experience takes time to make, and at the moment, we don't have time because we want to move forward. We don't want to be where we are now, we want to be better."Steiner said it was hard to say if Schumacher had failed to match expectations.
