[QUOTE="RasputinLives, post: 294432, member: 1057"] I'm interested to see what becomes of Haas. Its a very tactical move coming in under the wing of Ferrari and should (I say should) avoid a Caterham/Virgin/HRT disaster of a start. Even if they are at the back I don't expect them to be miles behind. Its a good move for them as it means they'll come in and won't be embarrassed. Its a good move for Ferrari as it opens up markets in the US. Its a good move for F1 because they've always wanted the States interest. If Haas are serious in actually competing in F1 though I expect them to part ways with Ferrari once they've hit the ground running (5 years maybe?) and look to form their own partnerships. Grosjean is an excellent signing in more ways than one. Not only is he and exceptionally quick and good racing driving but he has a strong reputation for being excellent at car set up (ask the Dams boys in GP2) which is only going to be a bonus for a new team with no comparison data. Gutierrez, who will be announced as the 2nd driver in Mexico I think, also has a good rep on set up......not so much on the racing though. It seems, on the face of it, that Haas entry into F1 has been managed exceptionally well. The proof will be in the pudding though. [/QUOTE]
