nudge Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 The whole Rich Energy saga and poor on-track performances this season surely warrant a dedicated topic for Haas Anyway rumours about Haas firing Grosjean and appointing Ocon are really starting to pick up speed today.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 18, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 18, 2019 Ocon deserves a seat on the grid and beggars can't be choosers, but I hope he doesn't walk into another disaster here as he's already been part of the collateral damage once before in the Force India administration fiasco.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 18, 2019 Moderator Posted July 18, 2019 But Haas has Ferrari engines? Would Esteban have to cut his ties with Mercedes before he joins them?

They were ready to release him pre-season if that would have helped him to get a seat so I think it's definitely still a possibility.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 30, 2019 Moderator Posted July 30, 2019 Do you guys think they need to change their driver pairing, or just some team orders will do the trick?
Eco Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Grossjean needs to go. It's a shame that their are drivers such as Ocon that aren't F1 drivers, whereas Grossjean keeps collecting pay checks. I think this entire year has been the bottom for Haas. With Rich Energy, poor performanes, and numerous run ins between drivers, I think they clearly need to change the driver lineup.
nudge Posted July 30, 2019 Author Posted July 30, 2019 I think they're already past the point where team orders would have helped. Finish the season and change the lineup; there's no way those two will manage to establish a professional working relationship. Grosjean might be a nice guy overall but he's so incident prone; would definitely show him the door and keep Magnussen.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 30, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 30, 2019 Grosjean appears to be very desperate on track this year. He has his moments but their relationship as team mates is not helping the team right now and because Grosjean especially knows he's probably at risk of losing his seat he's trying too hard to look like the better driver of the two. I think after the mid season break they should put Ocon in there with Magnussen and see how that goes.
Eco Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Damn - Grosjean did quite well. Still not sure he'll have a seat next year though, which is somewhat sad considering he seems talented but mental incapable of keeping it together for long stretches of time, but I'm just not sure where Haas goes next year.
Moderator Tommy Posted October 19, 2020 Moderator Posted October 19, 2020 https://www.planetf1.com/news/nikita-mazepin-two-year-deal-haas/ Horrible news for all of F1 except for Haas of course who seem desperate for those sweet sweet Rubels. A seat that could be occupied by a good driver being taken by a piece of shit with a rich daddy.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 22, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 22, 2020 I still rate Magnussen to an extent but Grosjean has long outstayed his welcome in F1 at this point if we're being honest. This surely means that Ferrari have pushed for a seat at Haas for one of their junior drivers as well as the one they're likely to still have at Alfa Romeo. I imagine Schumacher will get the more 'glamourous' seat at Alfa Romeo and be allowed to look good against a mediocre Giovinazzi or a half-arsed Raikkonen while Ilott or Schartzmann drive at Haas alongside the experienced and highly motivated Perez/Hulkenberg. The driver market is all about these two teams, Perez, Hulkenberg and Ferrari's juniors now.
Moderator Tommy Posted October 22, 2020 Moderator Posted October 22, 2020 Haas will surely bring in Mazepin and his daddy's rubels.

Mazepin at least isn't terrible and has proven himself to an extent this year but it sucks when Ocon, Hulkenberg, Perez, Magnussen and co get shifted out because of the likes of Latifi and Mazepin. I don't really count Stroll in there as he's more or less justified his place... sort of. But there's even talk of Russell losing his seat this week. Utter madness.

Ya, he also punched Callum Ilott and gave him a black eye and a swolen jaw in F3. In F2 after receiving a time penalty, he hit the 2nd place sign in anger and almost Tsunoda with it. He's pretty much a Russian version of Ticktum. Maybe even worse.
Moderator Tommy Posted October 24, 2020 Moderator Posted October 24, 2020 So according to the Italian press, Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin will drive for Haas next season. https://sport.sky.it/formula-1/2020/10/22/mick-schumacker-mazepin-piloti-haas-2021
