Haas F1 Team’s future was once uncertain, with rumors of a potential sale circulating amidst ongoing participation debates, until the signing of the new Concorde Agreement solidified their place in F1 under the cost cap.
Team principal Ayao Komatsu has disclosed multiple recent buyout offers, yet founder Gene Haas remains steadfastly dedicated to the team, despite growing interest from potential buyers.
Following a successful 2024 season where Haas finished seventh in the constructors’ championship, Komatsu took the helm after Steiner’s contract was not renewed, leading the team into its 10th season.
Gene Haas, showing renewed enthusiasm for the sport, will mark the team’s milestone by driving one of their cars at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, reflecting his deepening engagement with the team and the sport.
Komatsu emphasizes Haas’s unwavering commitment and passion, noting the owner’s active involvement and insistence on continual improvement, despite multiple buyout offers in the past 18 months, reaffirming Haas’s position under Gene’s dedicated ownership.
