Haas F1 Team

The team also established a forward base in Banbury, England, to turn cars around between races during the European part of the calendar.

Following the collapse of Marussia F1 during the 2014 season and the auctioning of their assets, Haas purchased the team's Banbury headquarters to serve as a forward base for their operations.

[15] Haas approached Italian manufacturer Dallara to build their chassis, with a power unit supplied by Ferrari.

[3][16] Former Jaguar and Red Bull Racing technical director Guenther Steiner was the team principal for 10 years until 2024.

F1 Director of Motorsports Ross Brawn said that he wants to protect and enhance the model for the foreseeable future as it allows teams with smaller budgets to enter the sport.

[34] In February 2018, Haas unveiled their new car, the VF-18, although some competitors called for an investigation due to its resemblance to the previous year's Ferrari, the SF70H.

[36] During the race, they were running in 4th, and 5th positions which would have given them their best result and half of their 2017 points tally, but both cars retired one lap after their respective pit stops.

Four days before the British Grand Prix, in July, the Rich Energy Twitter account announced that the sponsorship deal had been terminated, citing poor performance.

[42] The German Grand Prix provided the team's best-combined result of the season, being classified 7th and 8th after post-race penalties for other drivers.

Title sponsor Rich Energy faced numerous legal issues during the year, including being found to have plagiarized the logo of bicycle manufacturer Whyte Bikes.

[43] In September, a day after the Italian Grand Prix, Rich Energy announced the termination of the deal with Haas with immediate effect.

[46][47] On the opening lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix, Grosjean collided with AlphaTauri driver Daniil Kvyat and crashed through the barriers between turns 3 and 4.

The crash ruled him out of the following week's Sakhir Grand Prix, and he was replaced by Haas reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi.

They also secured Uralkali, a Russian potash fertilizer producer, of which Mazepin's father Dmitry is a key shareholder, as the title sponsor for the team.

Steiner denied this was to circumvent a World Anti-Doping Agency ban on the use of the Russian flag and anthem following a state-sponsored doping scandal in the country.

On March 5, the team announced it had terminated its title sponsorship deal with Uralkali and its driver contract with Mazepin.

[53] Haas's decision to focus on building the VF-22 throughout the 2021 season resulted in the car proving to be competitive among the mid-field teams.

These back-to-back double points finishes placed Haas seventh in the Constructors' Championship, after the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Nico Hülkenberg's Formula One return was announced prior to the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and will partner Magnussen for the 2023 season.

The two-time grand prix starter will work with the only American team competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship for a fifth consecutive season, providing support to the squad and helping develop the VF-23.

Fittipaldi has previously tested the VF-18 and VF-19 before jumping into the cockpit to race at the final two rounds of the 2020 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, substituting in the VF-20 for an injured Romain Grosjean.

[60] On January 10, team principal Guenther Steiner's contract was not renewed, with the position being filled by engineer Ayao Komatsu.

[61] In August 2024, it was reported that Haas has to reimburse US$9 million to former title sponsor Uralkali for the cancelled sponsorship contract by a Swiss arbitrator two months prior.

On August 26, Uralkali confirmed the receipt of the payment and Haas was allowed to leave for the Italian Grand Prix.
