Haas heads to the scene of one of its biggest moments in Formula 1, experienced just 12 months ago, on the receiving end of a damning admission
Haas Formula 1 team is experiencing a decline after their successful moment last year when Kevin Magnussen secured pole position in the Brazilian Grand Prix. However, such a performance is unlikely to be repeated this weekend, as their recent track record shows a lack of success. In the last 10 races, only once has a Haas driver managed to score a single point, dropping them from a competitive seventh place in the championship to dead last. The team’s chronic tire management problems continue to hamper their performance, as seen in the Mexican Grand Prix, where Nico Hulkenberg was forced to drift his car due to tire issues. Hulkenberg’s comments about Haas’ lack of upgrades and underperformance reflect the team’s current predicament, and their chances of climbing back up the standings seem slim. This is particularly concerning as their recent major upgrade has also failed to meet expectations, raising doubts about their future development direction. Despite efforts to improve, Haas continues to struggle with development throughout the season, making it difficult to finish stronger than they started.
