Haas vows to take more responsibility

New F1 team Haas F1 have promised they will take charge from Ferrari during the 2016 season.

The American outfit will use Ferrari engines this season, as well as a number of other parts.

However, they suffered reliability issues in winter testing and owner Gene Haas has vowed to take more responsibility for the problems.

"If anything is less than perfect, unfortunately they [Ferrari] are very cautious about taking these engines and putting them on the track," he said.

"If there is any problem from the telemetry they won't put it out there until they solve the problem.

"In the first test we had just a minor knick in a cable that caused a bit of a misfire in the engine, so we had to fix that, and it took time to find that cable.

"Of course, we're relying very heavily on Ferrari. That [the turbocharger] was an unfortunate problem, but they are very cautious.

"If they have a problem with something they want to investigate it.

"The problem with the turbocharger is that if it has any kind of problem it can explode, so they were cautious not to exceed any parameters on them that may cause some sort of catastrophic failure."
