We put the pit board out, but they didn’t see it, so we came up with the idea, ‘Let’s ask race control to give them the black flag so they come in.’ That’s what we did. We had no data anymore, no radio, nothing - we couldn’t contact them and we couldn’t see what the car was doing,” Steiner explained. It transpired that Haas was unable to contact either driver or see any telemetry, and so Steiner says the only way to force the drivers to pit was by using the FIA. Less than 20 minutes into the first practice session on Thursday, race control issued a message that it had shown the black flag to each of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, which signals a disqualification.
Haas team principal Guenther Steiner says he was being creative when he asked the FIA to black flag both of his cars during practice for the Monaco Grand Prix.
