Looks like Haas is getting creative trying to solve their tyre heat problem.

although it understands what the problem is, team principal Gunther Steiner said the outfit does not yet have a solution in place to overcome the issue.

Haas is bringing a major update package to Barcelona, and Steiner has said that a decision has been made to keep Kevin Magnussen in the older configuration on Friday to ensure that the outfit does not get confused over the impact the new package has on its tyre woes.

Steiner said: "What we are doing tomorrow, we will run one car on the 'old' spec and one on the new spec, so we have something to compare.

"If with the new spec we've got issues at least we can compare it. If you put two cars on the new spec and you've got an issue, [you then ask yourself] is it the tyres or the new spec? So we've got one and one and then we can convert the second car on Friday night if everything goes to plan.

"We've got all the parts. We consciously wanted to have a back-to-back and not to confuse us more with the tyre issue."

The Haas update includes a new floor, front wing, bargeboard and mirrors
