I could get drunk and not come with anywhere near that story line. It's probably true.  |

The rumors are that Haas will potentially replace both drivers with rookies in F1. True or not if you're going to make that kind of leap 2021 is the year not 2022 with all the new car development to do. It's better to have even that year's minimal amount of experience in the team for 2022.

Going into a season with two rookies doesn't sound like a good plan. There's also rumors that Haas is trying to sell the team. Maybe that has something to do with saving money on veteran drivers???

Russell has been the only bright spot on that team this year. He must not bring enough money if he would lose his seat.

Russel has never brought much cash. His value was as a Mercedes junior who happened to have a bunch of engines laying around his garage.
Italian press is reporting that Alfa's lineup will remain the same so Mick Schumacher only has the Haas seat open to him.

Italian press is reporting that Alfa's lineup will remain the same so Mick Schumacher only has the Haas seat open to him. I wonder how Mick will take that? Can he do another year where he is and still have the passion to drive in F1 in 2022? I know Teams have 'simulator drivers' I wonder if Mick would take a job like that with the chance of moving up the following year? It wouldn't give him 'racing experience' but he sure would learn the tracks and the car alot more. |

I too thinks it's time for Haas to figure out if the car truly is that bad or if they just chose poorly in their driver choices!! Those two guys can't be consistent if you gave them a straight edge to follow, one race they are in the top 10 then the next one they are out of the race early or at the bottom of the list of finishers.

If there were another silly season right now it would be for engineering talent. With the coming regulation changes that's all that matters. Haas tried to get by with 2 experienced drivers with less emphasis on the engineering side. The way it looks they might make the shift to at least one clear pay driver and put the money back into the design side instead of paying 2 twats who don't improve the car.

Last year the drivers told the team the early season updates weren't working but Haas decided to plow on anyway, just after mid season Stiener had to admit the drivers were probably right so it looks like there's a communication problem at the team that needs to be sorted out. They also might want yo start developing their own parts because the Ferrari tie in isn't doing them many favored. Imo RoGro needs to go but Mag is solid enough to keep around for another season, I guess Haas feels it needs to just rip off the band-aid and get it over with. |

I believe this story is impossible because everyone here tells me that driver input is not used to develop cars these days since the cars have so many sensors that the engineers know everything about the car and don't need those useless prima donnas to tell them anything. |

No that's just Hamilton.  |

With Haas telling the drivers they needed to both be gone because of financial considerations it makes me think that Checo might be heading there as he brings $$. But do any of the other non-F1 drivers in the mix have a big sponsorship package?
