Haas will not move its trucks and equipment out of the Netherlands until Monday after the Dutch Grand Prix while awaiting Uralkali’s acknowledgment of receipt of its sponsorship funds. The team was instructed in June to return a payment to its previous title sponsor Uralkali following a Swiss tribunal ruling, which it complied with. However, since payment was not confirmed before the weekend race, Uralkali dispatched bailiffs to document Haas’ equipment to prevent the team’s departure until the money was transferred. Despite the payment being made on Friday by Haas, Uralkali has yet to confirm receipt of the funds, keeping Haas in the Netherlands until Monday as reported by RACER. Once payment confirmation is received, the team’s trucks will immediately head to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza next weekend. The sponsorship contract between Haas and Uralkali was terminated due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, leading to challenges in making payments to the sanctioned Russian company, though the dispute did not impact Haas’ participation in the Zandvoort race. Following Sunday’s event, Haas will be allowed to return equipment to its suppliers, including Ferrari and Pirelli, the tire supplier for Formula 1.
