Haas is taking a number of updates to Singapore this weekend.

The American team, already enjoying a highly impressive debut season, hasn't given up on adding further points to its tally, and as it heads to a track known to produce surprises it is introducing a number of updates.

"We are bringing updates to the car in Singapore which, hopefully, will help us go faster," revealed team principal Guenther Steiner. "The midfield is so close and we are just at the end of it.

"I think it's all about execution," he continued. "Just a little bit more and we will get in the points. I would say we are the sixth- or seventh-best team. I think we opened up a gap to the people behind us in the competition speed-wise, but Force India and Williams are still going strong in front of us and we are battling with McLaren, so it's just a very tight midfield."

Asked what updates the team is taking for the night race, he revealed: "Front wing, modifications to the floor and the brake ducts. We're aiming to reduce corner sensitivity so the car is more consistent, and enhance aerodynamic performance and overall efficiency."

"We finished developing this year's car completely more than two months ago," he added. "These changes came from wind tunnel data and it took a little bit of time to develop the parts. We took our time so we are better prepared for next year. This is the last update for the 2016 car."
