Haas’ former title sponsor Uralkali is seeking payments from the American team – despite Haas stating a transfer has been made, Uralkali says it is still waiting for confirmation. As a result, Haas is not yet allowed to leave the Netherlands.
Following the Dutch Grand Prix, Haas is facing challenges in resolving its dispute with ex-sponsor Uralkali. The team must send $12 million and a 2021 car to the company according to a ruling by a Swiss arbitrator earlier this year. However, uncertainty remains regarding the status of the payment. Uralkali has not received the money despite Haas claiming it was transferred on Friday. This situation has led to Uralkali seizing Haas’ assets, preventing the team from traveling to Italy for the 16th round of the F1 world championship. Team owner Gene Haas is currently unable to leave the Netherlands due to these circumstances. The resolution of the situation, including the fate of the 2021 Haas car involved in the repayments, remains unclear with complications arising over payments to Russia.
