2022 Haas F1 Team

It looks like the bare minimum of unveiling anything. The good bits are actually pretty well hidden in these renders.

The technical director of the team is Simone Resta, ex-Ferrari, since 2021

I can't keep the thread up to date the way I would've liked. I mistakenly assumed there was no fixed window of time that you can edit a post, as I'm used to in other foruma

Interesting to see how the current situation in Ukraine will impact the team, which is relying on the money pumped in by Uralkali. They will certainly get affected by further sanctions one way or another. Not to mention that an American team supported by Russian money and driving around in a giant Russian flag is not a very pleasant sight. I don't know how did they get there in the first place.

There is a shitstorm on Twitter claiming that Haas dropped the Uralkali name from their title, but I don't think it was there in the first place.

Haas has confirmed that they will drop Uralkali branding from the car… With a full white car for the foreseeable future

I hope Haas can be okay if they end up without their big sponsor.

Edit:
To be honest they've been really unfortunate with sponsors. First the biggest energy drinks brand that I've never seen a can of in my life. Now a company from a country that decides to start a war.

No, dumbass Clarkson is responding to a quote he made before the invasion. They didn't let Mazepin or Steiner talk to the press today.

The Mazepins will likely still support but instead of russian colours they might run their green and red logo.

This is a nice opportunity for Andretti Global to move in and partner Haas or buy the team alltogether.

Depends what you’re after. For a team, HAAS is pretty empty without a real factory. Their real only asset is their license

Not if their overseas assets are frozen.

I don't know, we'll see, with Dmitry Mazepin being a Belarusian-Russian oligarch, it's hard to see him not be affected heavily by sanctions as Uralchem has strong backing from the Russian government. I'm sure this would have some sort of effect on how the team is funded, whether its financial pressure or even political pressure.
