Maybe he didnt push as hard as they did knowing that: 1. His seat is secure no matter his performance relative to Schumi Jr. 2. That Haas is not in contention for anything beyond P19 in the quali or the race anyway unless somebody crashes out. No need to push if it nets you nothing in return 3. The Haas is junk and does not inspire any confidence in the drivers to push it to its limits
