The Bio
Haas made their highly impressive debut in 2016 and, in the process, became the first all-American-led F1 squad in three decades. Founded by industrialist Gene Haas, they are based in the United States on the same Kannapolis, North Carolina facility as his championship-winning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team, Stewart-Haas Racing.
The Ferrari-powered team, led by the charismatic Guenther Steiner, had their best year in 2018 with a fifth-placed finish in the World Constructors’ Championship. Whilst there was some controversy about the similarities between that year’s Haas and the previous year’s Ferrari, it appeared that the American team were on the rise.
Things didn’t work out that way, though. Over the next three seasons, Haas found themselves slipping towards the back of the field and spent 2021 with their two rookie drivers more often than not fighting over last place.
That was somewhat down to the fact that development on the car was abandoned before the season even began, with the focus very much placed on the new regulations in 2022. Having cut their ties with the Mazepin family – both in terms of the Uralkali funding from father Dmitry and the seat given to his son Nikita – after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kevin Magnussen returned to the team as they moved back up the pecking order, to then be joined by the man with whom he once had an infamous post-race run-in, Nico HĂĽlkenberg.
For 2025, it’s an all new line-up of Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman.
