Haas team principal Guenther Steiner says the ongoing overtaking debate in Formula 1 has caused mo🅺re problems than benefits and has called for a stop in knee-jerk reactions to issues.

Af🌳ter the 2018 F1 opener saw just five on-track overtakes completed, the problem dominated the headlines which prompt rule-makers to set-up a meeting in Bahrain to discuss changes to help improve overtaking.

Immediate steps have already b🅠een taken in Australia and Bahrain, with Albert Park gaining a new third DRS zone while the Sakhir circuit saw one of its DRS zones extended, with💦 similar plans at other circuits confirmed by FIA race director Charlie Whiting.

Talks have also revolved around changing the regulations to make rear wings widerꦺ to increase the effect of the DRS wing flap but Haas boss Steiner has shot down the idea of imme🐈diate changes.

“When we m🔴ake decisions to implement them quickly, we’ve always created more problems than benefits,” Steiner said. “So, let’s study them properly, let’s think about it, and then do something or do nothing.

“I would like to see at least four races under our belt, because we shouldn’t jum꧂p to a conclusion after the 🔴early races of the season. Working to make the cars more overtaking friendly – it’s a good idea, but also we should avoid knee-jerk reactions.”

Despite being against qui💮ck changes Steiner does accept if there is substantial evidence of tweaks making a positive effect he is happy to suppℱort potential moves to help increase overtaking and improving F1’s show.

“I think if it is done with plenty of notice to change aerodynamic devi🅘c🦩es, I’m okay with that,” he said.

The FIA has confirmed the two DRS zones will remain unaltered from last year’𒀰s ꦐChinese Grand Prix for this weekend at the Shanghai International Circuit.
