Current Haas

From the start of the 2016 season we will be able to welcome the Haas F1 Team into the F1 fold. They have just announced one of their drivers in a live stream on their website a really good signing with the talent that is Roman Grosjean. No word of the second driver as yet.

Stewart Haas Racing in NASCAR already stands the team in good stead to getting off to a flying start. These guys know how to race. In turn they also have one of the best wind tunnels in the world and CNC factories at their beck and call as part of the Haas empire.

They seem to think they can hit the ground running and score points in their first season.

I say good luck to them.

This is an American team backed by Russians associated with Putin ...trading with the enemy

I think the team will survive because Ferrari now have an avenue to make it a B team as their falling out with Sauber over driver choices

So I think Mazepin will not make it to race 1 about time that dick needs to piss off for good

I was hoping Callum Illott would get his chance but I realise Ferrari will put Giovinazzi in the car because they are so desperate for him to be in F1

well we cant forget that Pietro Fittipaldi is also the test driver & could bring brazilan money

Giovinazzi is the reserve driver for all the Ferrari teams so I think Binotto is so desperate for him to be driving

Il_leone - Fittipaldi has been announced as the reserve, to replace Mazepin, at least until Binotto bungs Haas millions of pounds at least!

Emerson, Wilson, Christian, Enzo or Pietro?

Schumacher and Giovinazzi to fulfil Ferrari reserve role in 2022 | Formula 1

Antonio Giovinazzi will remain involved in Formula 1 in 2022, after agreeing a deal to split Ferrari’s reserve driver role with Haas race driver and fellow Ferrari Driver Academy racer Mick Schumacher…

Be interesting to see if Binotto starts to be more demanding to Haas to pick Giovinazzi over Fittipaldi if they feel they need more assistance if it becomes a case that they want to be more competitive in the constructors championship against Alfa most likely

Gunther Steiner has said that if Mazepin doesn't drive it will be Pietro Fittipaldi.

Pietro Fittipaldi will have "first call" on Mazepin's seat - Steiner

Pietro Fittipaldi is first in line to replace Nikita Mazepin if the Haas driver does not continue with the team.

I know that he’s saying that now, but I bet that could change if enough money passes their way from Ferrari!

Nikita Mazepin: Russian Formula 1 driver barred from British Grand Prix after Motorsport UK decision

No Russian/Belarusian licenced teams are approved to enter motorsport competitions in the UK; no Russian/Belarusian licenced competitors and officials are approved to participate in UK motorsport events; no Russian/Belarusian national symbols, colours, flags to be displayed

The UK decision feels instinctively right, frankly the lack of condemnation in Mazepin’s tweet unfortunately underlines that with me

 

[Il_leone]

I think the ruling also rules out Robert Schwartzmann who Ferrari have as their junior driver and would be expected to be in F1 next year

Based on his birth, could he race under the Israeli national federation?

His name is Fittipaldi and he is an F1 reserve driver having had a very forgettable junior career. He has money.

Sad that he is in F1 because of his name not his ability

But clearly having a Brazilian driver on the grid is good for Haas commercially as there are no Brazilians on the grid

[F1Brits_90]

Mazepin isnt 1st or last. that the problem being a pay driver as chilton & Haryanto found out in manor when money dries up so does the drive. unless your sergio perez

Dear fans?



Even without the illegal invasion of another country I think that's a wildly optimistic opening.
