The Haas Formula 1 team will delay sending its equipment from Zandvoort to Monza pending a resolution to a multi-million dollar repayment to former sponsor Uralkali
The Haas Formula 1 team is delaying sending its equipment from Zandvoort to Monza due to a multi-million dollar repayment dispute with former sponsor Uralkali. The equipment, including the two F1 cars, will stay at the Dutch Grand Prix venue until Monday pending resolution. Failure to make the payment could result in penalties and potential criminal charges for Haas. A Swiss arbitral tribunal had ordered Haas to refund Uralkali a significant amount of money from before their partnership was terminated in early 2022. Uralkali sought legal action after not receiving the money or the car as per the tribunal’s ruling, prompting the current delays. Haas aims to clear the issue by Monday to continue preparations for the upcoming Italian GP.
