With so much manufacturing out-sourced, Haas don’t operate out of a single factory like other Formula 1 teams do and are split over three locations across the world. This process of sharing parts is allowed within the F1 rulebook and saves Haas time and money with regards to design and construction. The traditional method is for a Formula 1 team to design and build their own car in-house, but Haas have taken a different approach.Īs well as supplying power units, Ferrari also support Haas with all the parts of the car they do not need to build themselves, such as the rear suspension and gearbox. They are a small, efficiently run group and the secret to their success is the partnership they have formed with Ferrari. Since arriving in the sport, Haas have redefined the way a Formula 1 team operates. The day-to-day running of the team is handled by the genial Guenther Steiner, who achieved fame on Formula 1’s Drive to Survive Netflix series thanks to his no-nonsense views, delivered with his broad Germanic accent – a legacy of growing up in the northernmost part of Italy, close to the Austrian border. Haas became the first US squad to compete in Grand Prix racing since the Haas-Lola team of 1985-6 which was run by the late Carl Haas – unrelated to the owner of the current organisation. Founded in 2014 by the NASCAR American stock car owner Gene Haas, the team made their debut in the 2016 Australian Grand Prix and amazingly scored points in that race, with a sixth-place finish. The Haas F1 Team are the newest outfit to line up on the Formula 1 grid.
