Will HAAS F1 Survive?

Losing their main sponsor isn't going to help. I'm also disappointed at their progress this year and after the end of last year I was hoping they would be competitive with the second tier teams. I sure hope they keep the team together for next year as having an American team in F1 helps keep my interest.

I don't think losing "Rich Energy" is a terrible thing. Seems like that company is pretty mysterious if not some sort of fraud.

In my opinion one of the mistakes is sticking with the driver lineup....namely Grosjean I mean this year is what 4 DNFs and has scored 2 points?
Grosjean goes from checkers to wreckers, he had some outstanding races before coming to Haas, but then he would hose up the next one

Grosjean has shots of brilliance backed by periods of baffling newcomer mistakes, and Magnusson seems to actually be getting a bit better , yet neither is driving well enough to keep their seat secure, imho. Too many new talents in the wings , with showings from some like Lando Norris, it would not surprise me to see a new lineup, even though losing both drivers would leave no experienced driver on the team. Even those of us that like Grosjean, we are getting tired of his complaints and his trend to blame others or the car. HAAS can continue without Rich , but likely they will stay through the Season as their contract likely states. Can't believe they would want a fight with Gene , since believe he could sue them for breach of contract, as no sponsor gets in F1 without knowledge that the winning atmosphere is limited to a few teams?
