It appears to be a baseless rumor, but I can't let it go unmentioned. Slash's name is being mentioned in connection with Haas F1.

Haas F1 team, the embryonic North Carolina-based F1 outfit, could be Sutil's lifeline, even though the Ferrari-linked outfit will not debut until 2016. When asked about drivers, chief Gunther Steiner told Speed Week that having an American in the cockpit straight away is "not a must".

"We are a new team and we don't want to take any big risks," he said. "If there is a fantastic US driver, then yes. But if he is a rookie with no experience ... we want an experienced driver," Steiner insisted. "I have no names," he added, "but if Sauber changes its drivers then Adrian Sutil could be on the market

Felipe Nasr to drive for Sauber next season. HE's bringing youth and money - two things needed to drive in F1. \

The guy has won championships in F BMW and F3, and won races in GP2 and currently is 2nd in Gp2 standings. That's much better than some of the recent rookies, plus he has experience in a current F1 car, I'd say he's worth a go, especially when compared to Gutierrez and Sutil

The few times I watched GP2, Nasr looked like a complete muppet, like if you combine Massas and Rosbergs weak sides.

So, at the moment things are like this, if I missed something, tell it:

Mercedes - Hamilton, Rosberg
Red Bull - Ricciardo, Kvyat
Ferrari - Vettel, Raikkonen
McLaren - Magnussen, Alonso, Button, Groesjan
Williams - Bottas, Massa
Force India - Perez, Hulkenberg
Sauber - Eriksson, Nasr
Lotus - Maldonado, Groesjan
Toro Rosso - Verstappen, Vergne, Sainz

And it may be that some of that money will go toward paying off Slash.

Whereas Gutierrez will be out of contract at the end of the year, Sutil has said for some time that he does still have a firm deal with the team for 2015. It appears that this would be paid off using some of the financial backing that Nasr and Ericsson bring to the seats

After seven seasons racing in F1, Sutil will be hoping to find another seat on the 2015 grid, but he has shown few signs of desperation over the past few months. Instead, he has insisted that Sauber’s decisions do not change his outlook for next year, and it is unlikely they will until a resolution with his contract is found.
