About Haas F1 Team in brief
Haas F1 Team was established by NASCAR Cup Series team co-owner Gene Haas in April 2014. The team originally intended to make its debut at the start of the 2015 season but later elected to postpone their entry until the 2016 season. Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutiérrez drove for the team in 2016. On November 11, 2016, the team announced that Kevin Magnussen would drive alongside GrosJean in 2017. The current team principal for the Haas F1 team is Guenther Steiner. Haas was the first American constructor to submit an F1 entry after the failed US F1 project in 2010, and it is the firstAmerican constructor to compete since the unrelated Haas Lola outfit raced in the 1985 and 1986 seasons. The constructor was applauded for pioneering a low-cost model that would allow new teams to enter the sport and be competitive, which had been of concern to the sport for some years. In 2018 the constructor again came under fire from competitors after arriving at winter testing with a car that strongly resembled the Ferrari SF70H, Ferrari’s 2017 car.
While no official grievance has been filled with the FIA, McLaren boss Zak Brown has questioned the relationship. During 2021 rule discussions in April 2019, concerns over Haas F 1’s B-team approach were presented by Renault and McLaren. Haas finished 8th place in the constructors’ title for the 2nd straight year after being surpassed by Renault Sport Team in the final races of the 2014 season. Haas would also go on to get their first double points in the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix where Gros jean finished eighth and Magnussen finished tenth. In the final race of the season the team would finish 8th in the Constructors’ Championship, with Magnussen picking up all 29 points en route to 8th. Haas also won its first points in its first F1 race and the first constructor overall since Toyota Racing in 2002 to recordpoints in its debut. The Haas F2 team is based in Kannapolis, North Carolina – 31 mi from Charlotte – alongside sister team and NASCAR entrant Stewart-Haas Racing, though the two teams are separate entities.
