The Dane only got the call to drive in F1 this season a few weeks ago, after Haas cancelled Nikita Mazepin's contract.
The Danish racer used to be a part of Haas until the 2020 season, after which he and Romain Grosjean were replaced.
F1 had agreed in principle with the teams to double the number of sprint races to six in 2022 after holding three trial events last year.
Despite the budget constraints for the 2022 F1 season, Steiner claims that Haas is still the smallest team on the grid.
Haas decided not to develop their car for 2021 in order to devote all of its resources to the new technical standards for 2022.
Despite the team's competitive position, Haas F1 CEO Steiner underlined the necessity of keeping the squad motivated.
Mazepin was already under the microscope before he even started his first F1 race due to his off-track antics.
