Esteban Gutierrez had enough of not winning
F1 News – Esteban Gutierrez says he is bored with just missing out on his first point for Haas, having now finished 11th in a third of 2016’s Formula 1 grands prix.
Gutierrez’s 11th place in Singapore last weekend was his fifth such result of the year.
He endured the lion’s share of Haas’s mechanical problems and bad luck earlier in the season as team-mate Romain Grosjean scored 28 points for the American outfit.
Though Gutierrez’s personal form has improved since, the team has dropped down the pecking order.
He has finished 13th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 11th in the last five races.
“It’s boring to finish P11,” Gutierrez, who remains confident about being on the grid next year but has yet to confirm his seat, told Autosport.
“I don’t know how many more I’ve got in the system, but this consistency shows that we are very close to the points.
“We have to keep fighting, keep motivated.
“It wasn’t easy [in Singapore] to find our way with the upgrades, so we can focus on that, try to optimise our parts.
“I hope to come back to Malaysia with a better view and better preparation to try to extract more from the upgrade.”
