Haas team principal Guenther Steiner reveals that his driver Romain Grosjean is on "thin ice" with the threat of facing a race ban this season.
Steiner admitted Grosjean is on "thin ice" with the driver edging closer to an F1 ban for accumulated penalty points.
Grosjean is only three penalty points away from receiving a race ban after the Singapore Grand Prix, where he failed to respond to repeated blue flag warnings.
Nine penalty points have already been handed to Grosjean, so he will be eager to not receive anymore in the next three races, in Russia, Japan and Austin - before he gets a point wiped off in Mexico.
Steiner was asked whether Grosjean has to be careful for the upcoming races: "More than a little bit! I think he should be very careful, but I think he knows that.
"He's getting close, we're getting close, we are on thin ice at the moment with that one, applied correctly, that is the rule, if the blue flag comes out.
"It's like you want everything, we want the cake and we want to eat it. In the end, he got the penalty, and he has to be careful.
"It didn't make a difference because we wouldn't score points anyway. It's just the points he scored for his own account which were not good points."
Grosjean was announced earlier today that he'd be driving for Haas next season, alongside his team-mate Kevin Magnussen.
