Haas’ announcement that they are retaining each Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen for the 2024 year has some wishing the group took a gamble on a rookie like Felipe Drugovich or Theo Pourchaire, but Dex does not share that view…
I never believe both of individuals two clearly show guarantee the way Oscar Piastri did to commence with. Just before, groups experienced their good reasons to gamble on children (one particular youthful expertise to “sell” to even larger groups, one particular spend driver to finance the procedure in the indicate time). Now they are not pressured to just take pitfalls and they are not determined for revenue. We’re in these section till issues improve.
Haas simply cannot “sell” skills (they previously have contracts with senior groups, even if they never generate in F1), they have no ambition to get or contend for just about anything at all (which is acquired to do with the owner’s personal mentality) and they are delighted just where by they are. They never make or design and style their personal automobiles, they previously offered their title to Alfa Romeo, they hardly ever experienced enjoyable motorists or earlier mentioned typical skills, they have no followers and no enthusiasm for the activity.
The proprietor is a pure businessman who cares much more about American racing and utilizes F1 for advertising and marketing functions only, his correct hand who will take treatment of the group is also from company and without the need of enthusiasm for sport… That group is doomed to be offered, and it should really be.
