Haas F1 Team Updates

[VoodooBoss]

I'll post updates as the first American race team to enter F1 in 30 years and based in Kannapolis, North Carolina prepares for the 2016 season.

First up is the announcement of the Frenchman Romain Grosjean as the first driver to sign with the team. It would be nice to see an American driver in the second car. Maybe Alexander Rossi from California?

First up is the announcement of the Frenchman Romain Grosjean as the first driver to sign with the team.

He tore up his Lotus pretty good today in Russisn GP.

Haas announces Esteban Gutierrez as the second driver. He's a Ferrari development driver. I was really hoping for an American driver but I knew it was a long shot.

Ok it's getting real. Second day of testing in Spain went well.

Haas got 6th in their first outing with Romain Grosjean driving. That was pretty impressive and they were clearly keeping pace with the mid pack cars.

So this pisses me off. Ecclestone gives all the credit to Haas's first race success to Ferrari. He acts like Haas knows nothing about running a race team. Geez. I hope Haas wins a race this year just to show him how American's do F1. ;D
