First American Formula One team in 30 years

      I am writing this post to tell you that after thirty years of break in 2016 there will be an American team in Formula One !!!!!:D:D which is called Haas. To be more precise the team is called Haas F1 Team and it is first team since Parnelli which has main base in United States in Kannapolis. The base is share between Haas and Stewart-Haas Racing, but Tony Stewart will be not interrelated with this Formula One team. Also has a European base in United Kingdom in Banbury  to make easier and quicker access to the team suppliers and streamlined logistics for when the team travels in Europe.


On the left side main base in Kannapolis(US) and on the right side second base in Banbury(UK):)


      Organizer of  entering a team in the F1 championship in 2016 was Gene Haas who is a passionate about auto racing. He has competed successfully in off-road racing and sponsored numerous race teams through the years in CART, IndyCar and NASCAR, but for him it was not enough, in 2014 was granted a license by the FIA to join the starting grid for the FIA Formula 1 World Championship in 2016.

Haas have approached Italian manufacturer Dallara to design and build their chassis, with a power unit supplied by Ferrari. Jaguar and Red Bull Racing technical director Günther Steiner will be the team principal.

     

Furthermore Gene Haas employed as a racing driver Esteban Gutierrez who was in 2015 reserve driver in Ferrari, this is a great news, because Esteban  is  talented driver who had not have a chance for better results.



Gene also employed Romain Grosjean who was racing for Lotus in previous season. Romain  is a great driver and he accustomed me to be in top 10. It is seriously weird feeling when he finished race outside top 10.


All in all I am crossing my finger for both drivers, also the team, because it is great to see debut team which score good position. Maybe they replicate Brawn GP achievement from 2009. Who knows:):).

Thanks for reading this piece an visiting my blog;):):)
