The Russian rookie finished last and three laps down on race-winner Max Verstappen at the first of tw💦o races in Austria last weekend.

Mazepin expressed his frustration after the race, saying he𓂃 felt like a “carrot that was about to be caught by a rabbit” and indicated that he was running at a disadvantage to his teammate Mick Schumacher.

“When 𝐆you have a lot of laps, and long straights, and you have a very heavy car compared to the other car in our team it’s very difficul💎t to stay ahead, so I’m not happy,” Mazepin said.

“Bꦜut I’m just waiting for a new one to really have a chance because at the moment I’m just a sitting duck and I do my very best at the beginning and then I’m just a carrot to be caught and unfortunately I was caught, so that’s what it is.”

While Mazepin suggest🧸ed he may have to wait for “six to seven races” before he gets a new chassis♈,  Haas team principal Guenther Steiner confirmed that it is likely to come at the Belgian Grand Prix after the summer break.

“I don’t want to go into the specific weight differenceജ, it’s not very big,” Steiner said a💟head of this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.

“There is a small w🍌eigh✃t difference depending on the weight distribution, because sometimes you cannot get to the weight distribution if you don’t put a little bit overweight ballast in.

“Heavy is❀ ౠnever good, but it’s not like 20kg heavy or not 10kg heavy, it is nothing like this.

“The 🍃chassis plan is 💯to have it not in six or seven races, the chassis is planned to be with us after the summer break.”

Steiner insisted ๊that losing crucial 🍌time during blue flags was a bigger problem for Mazepin in the last race.

“I think last race he 🌞got caught by the cars which were lapping him, and that makes you a sitting duck as once you let three cars by your tyrꦡes go where you don’t want them to be and you never get them back,” he explained.

“I don’t think that has anything to do with the chassis. That was done because 🎶again in the beginnin🦂g we decided to give him an earlier pit stop to keep him out of the blue flags.

"We don’t k𒉰now how the race will pan out, the main reason, so I wouldn’t put that one down ꧅to the weight difference.”
