Gene Haas, owner of the Formula 1 racing team, has no illusions about his team’s competition this year. “We know we won’t beat any of the Mercedes teams,” he says.
2020 was a difficult season for the Haas team, with two regular drivers Kevin Maguson and Romain Grosjean, who had to make way for Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin after the end of the season, with only three World Championship points that was the US racing team that resulted in the world. Placed himself ninth in the championship, only to have Williams (0 points) do worse.
Again this year, team owner Gene Haas does not expect an easy game, even though he insists in the «racer.com» interview: «I am optimistic about the future.» At the same time he makes it clear: “” I know this year is going to be difficult because we basically have the same car as last year, and Ferrari’s drive system will be similar to what it was in 2020. “
«So we know that it does not give us any competitive advantage. I think we are aware that we will always be three or four places behind Ferrari, ”says the 68-year-old American. “And that’s fine, after all, Formula 1 is the top of motorsport,” he says.
“We know that we are not going to beat any of Mercedes’ teams, so we just have to take what we have and learn to make the most of it.” The whole game involves so much more than the technical challenges and engine development and all that stuff, it includes the participants in the race, the drivers and all the other aspects that make the game so awesome, ”explains Haas.
