Haas will not move its trucks and equipment out of the Netherlands until Monday after the Dutch Grand Prix while waiting for Uralkali to acknowledge receipt of its sponsorship funds. The team was ordered to return a payment to its former title sponsor Uralkali back in June, following a ruling by a Swiss tribunal, and had accepted the findings. With payment not received ahead of this weekend’s race, Uralkali sent bailiffs to itemize Haas’ equipment to prevent the team from leaving the country until the money was transferred. Payment was made by the team on Friday, but with Uralkali yet to acknowledge receipt of the funds, Haas will remain in the Netherlands until Monday. Once confirmation of payment receipt comes through, the team’s trucks will depart for next weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza. Uralkali was Haas’ title sponsor in 2021 and at the beginning of 2022, but the contract was terminated following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Haas has been allowed to return equipment to its suppliers after Sunday’s race, including technical partner Ferrari and F1’s tire supplier Pirelli.
