Haas has "clear evidence" of F1 US GP track limits breaches

Haas boss Guenther Steiner says his team found "clear evidence" of track limits breaches by rivals at Formula 1's United States Grand Prix prior to requesting a right of review.

Haas studied onboard videos, including shots from following cars, and the team believes that Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll, Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant all committed multiple offences at Turn 6 that went unpunished.

The review request will be considered by the original FIA stewards of the event in an online gathering on Wednesday.

Their first task will be to decide whether or not the Haas request ticks all the boxes, notably in terms of presenting a "significant and relevant new element" that wasn't previously available.

If they agree that the request is a valid one, they will then consider that evidence and rule on it.

"It's just a review," Steiner told Autosport. "There's a regulation in place. I mean, in the end, if the stewards didn't have the information, obviously they couldn't take action. I fully understand that.

"But there is information, and now we'll see what the FIA does, once they get the information. I think they need to take action, because otherwise we make rules and then don't do anything about it. That's my opinion.

"Okay, I fully respect if they didn't see the pictures, how can they rule this for sure? But now we have clear evidence of it.

"We just want to bring the case up, because otherwise we need to change the rules. I'm not a big fan of track limits, to be honest.

"I'm the last one who wants penalties on track limits. But if there's a rule in place, we need as a sport to respect rules, that is more the principle of it, than the penalty."
