    I'd hand Esteban a copy of "How To Win Friends and Influence People."

    Esteban Gutierrez - Haas issues making me look very bad

    You don't see Lewis or Vettel bashing their teams and mechanics...and they actually have a lot to lose. Esteban is somewhat of an "also ran" with no real chance at anything yet feels he's just there to drive and when things go wrong... Point the finger and cast blame. A lot of proof here that there's more to a champion than driving skill. There's a little thing called character.

    Steiner not so worried. I think I'd rather hear a frustrated competitor instead of the usual "we're working very hard, and I know the team will come through, we're in it together, blah blah blah"

    Here's what he had to say:

    "Steiner hopes the team can find a remedy overnight but admits Gutierrez's car seems to be plagued by issues."

    "We are confident again but with him it's not one thing, it's one thing after the other! We are not trying hard to do this you know, we are trying hard to get it right so it's frustrating and at the time I was frustrated with the team before because it's enough now, it seems like wow, it's always happening to him.

    "It's very odd and we need to give him the chance to drive. He's young and he needs to make a mark in the sport. The car is good when it is out there, sure we cannot win races -- we know that -- but it will come. We just need to keep on pushing and get over our frustrations because personally as well after a session like this I'm not happy that we made progress with one car, I'm unhappy that the other car didn't drive again. We need to get over that, keep it positive and keep on working hard and everybody is and try to sort these things out."
