    HAAS F1 have provided valuable entertainment in Formula 1, appreciate them for that alone, for the overall sport would be poorer for them not being there.

    They have become a team to watch, because everybody likes a ‘trier’, during the good times (very few) and the bad times (very many).

    Gunther Steiner wears his heart on his sleeve, as he can do it no other way. Admire Gunther for his genuineness and his excessive passion.

    I don't think Gene Haas has the money or has the sponsorship to spend the kind of money needed to be competitive. I hope he doesn't leave but its looking bad at the moment.

    Well he's not leaving but they are throwing in the towel for 2021.
    Steiner just announced that there will be no further development of the 2021 car after testing and all their tokens are being spent on the 2022 car
    to me this sounds like they don't have the money/resources to develop the car.
    Lets hope they solved their aero instability issue that hampered them all of 2020 with an undrivable car on Sundays.
    Still, not a good sign and to me it looks like they may finish last in 2021
    you can't argue with results.

    They're giving up the 2021 season before it has even started? What message does that send to their rookie drivers, their supporters and their sponsors ? This team has become an utter joke.

    That should be Hulkenburg's seat but it seems to me that Haas doesn't have the money to pay drivers.
