How did Haas’s blunder move give a setback at the Canadian GP?

At the Canadian Grand Prix, Haas faced a significant setback too. It happened with Kevin Magnussen's pit stop. When switching from wet to intermediate tyres on lap eight, the pit crew was unprepared, leading to a prolonged 8.6-second stop. 

This blunder caused Magnussen to drop to 12th place, a fall greater than what would have occurred with an average pit stop. This mistake highlighted operational issues within the team, severely impacting their race performance and chances of securing a better finish.

Meanwhile, In a dramatic moment, Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg narrowly avoided a collision with Yuki Tsunoda in Montreal. As the race neared its end, Tsunoda and his teammate Daniel Ricciardo were aiming for double points for VCARB.
