[Kymillman] Magnificent Appearance, A welcome return to the paddock for Kevin Magnussen. This is the first race he's attended since he left the sport at the end of last year. Despite leaving the sport, he still works with Haas as the team's test driver. : formula1

What value does Haas bring to F1?
Main Post:
With all the anti-Andretti sentiment amongst the team principles, they need to ask themselves if Haas brings any value to F1. It's a team with a pretty much absentee owner who gives them minimal funds to run the team. Andretti has money lined up, has backing from GM, and actually wants to be successful in F1. Whereas Guenther aside, I don't feel Gene Haas cares one way of the other.
Edit: My point being, someone gave Gene Haas an opportunity--and I hear this argument being used against Michael Andretti--what value does Andretti Motorsports bring?

The future of HAAS
Main Post:
With the news of Andretti (possibly) Joining F1 for 2025, what does the future bring for HAAS? They’ve been disappointing for years now, and it just seems like they’re going nowhere. They’ve been completely reliant on Ferrari, and now they’re only plus being an “American” team is gone to Andretti. What does the future hold for them? What will they do with their drivers? Hulkenberg is performing as good as ever, but Magnussens time seems limited getting handily beat by Nico. Personally, I think KMAG is gone in 2025, and will be replaced by Zhou, who is a safe pair of hands.Steiner already said they will never hire rookies again, which I think is a mistake because it will stifle their performance because they will be limited to older, experienced drivers who are willing to drive for them, which is probably a somewhat limited list. What are your thoughts? Cheers!
Note: Do any of you think haas can ever reclaim their former glory? (2018) Podium by 2026?
Top Comment: I mean, has the market for selling a team ever been higher?
Is Haas over-performing, was Gunther the problem all along, and what does it mean for an 11th team?
Main Post:
I'm interested to know what you all think of Haas this season?
When Steiner left I bought into the argument that Haas could do no better without Gene putting in some proper investment, that the days of it being viable to be a customer team on a shoe string budget were over. Now it looks more like Steiner was indeed the problem, and the model does work.
To me it also undermines the argument that we can't have an 11th team because they'd inevitably be an embarrassing bank marker.

Top Comment: Toyota walked into the grid, picked the team that matched their colour scheme the best and called it a day. That is the reality I choose to go forward with.
Haas Fans ? Tell us Why
Main Post:
I am myself a Haas fan after DTS. Love underdogs and huge Magnussen fan because of his debut in Australia, I don't know much about between 2014-2016 but you have to be talented driver for that result. I started watching F1 full time from 2022 he was impressive at beginning of the year Bahrain, Jeddah, Imola after being out and then Austria Sprint weekend, France Start, Brazil, Austin, some DNFs throughout the season and incidents costing points. This year is particularly hasn't been great so far, he said car is against his driving style I don't know how much of it is true or can be. Supporting Haas has been great and Steiner is great character. Recently listened to his audiobook Surviving to Drive. Supporting the underdog has a lot of mix of emotions there are some highs and the lowest of lows
Tell us your story of being a Haas fan, how it started, how it's been over the years, what's kept you attached, and how has it been lately
Top Comment: I like underdogs. I like supporting teams that any little good news is like a victory. I am American as well so that helps but it's not just because of the American angle. I think that despite the criticism they get from a lot of fans, what Haas has been able to do, surviving as a new entrant and becoming a lower-midfield contender, is pretty remarkable.

As long as they operate as a quasi-customer team with their cars being designed by Ferrari and built by Dallara with as many Ferrari parts as possible I don’t think they will achieve any sustained success, and the terrible strategy and slow pit stops with ancient equipment are not helping.
