Haas team principal Guenther Steiner says that the team will take a look at its driver options for 2019 following the summer break. F1 is currently on a three-week break in which no races are held, while it gives time for the 2019 grid to take shape.

It is believed that Kevin Magnussen will stay on with the American team, however question marks remain over the head of Romain Grosjean. The Frenchman has had a shaky season, but has picked up three point finishes in the last four races.
"I don't want to talk about the future," Steiner insisted. "We will study this question after the summer break. I have a lot of respect for Romain on a human level. Who would have taken the risk of joining us three years ago? He believed in us and our project," he added.
