Seems like those alarm bells already should have been ringing. I think it's a bit of an indictment of their team's engineering that significant investments haven't been made. Stop pretending this year is salvageable, and begin prepping for the 2026 regulations with the new power units.
They sacrificed 2021 for the new regs in 2022 as well, see where that got them.
Sadly the owners donβt seem interested in funding the team in a way that will allow them to ever seriously compete in F1. People seem to like to shut on Steiner for this, but I think he is just managing with the tools he has.
I was optimistic when Haas joined. Their model of sourcing as much as possible from Ferrari looked like a good idea to start a team and built from there. But they never seemed to have the funding/ambition to evolve to a serious top team.
Really sad to see the only American team is not taking it serious, and itβs not making it easier for newer teams (ie Andretti) to get the nod of approval.
