Haas F1 boss Steiner says his team's protests against Alonso and Perez in the USGP were aimed at seeking consistency from the FIA stewards, and were not 'targeting anybody'.
Haas contacted race control about it, but no action was taken, and the mirror eventually flew off. Alonso continued and eventually finished seventh on the road.
However, the Alonso protest was upheld, with the FIA acknowledging that the car shouldn't have been allowed to run either with the mirror flapping and a potential danger to other cars, or afterwards with it absent and Alonso's rearward vision compromised."I'm not targeting anybody," Steiner told Motorsport.com."I mean, for me, it needs to be consistent. The FIA is the regulator and they need to get consistent.
"Sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's not OK. We need to find a way to make it okay or not, that you know what you're doing, and that is what we tried to find out, if it is consistent or not."At least we work on the future. To drive without a mirror, in our opinion, in the rules it says you have to have two mirrors, it's pretty simple. I mean, there was one mirror, how he lost it I don't really care.
