One: Haas's past and present lives:
Haas's hardware is not weak, and founder Gene Haas, who is also the owner of a well-known NASCAR team in the United States, bought the assets of the former Malusia team in the UK and commissioned Dalala to make them a chassis (HRT used to be a manufacturer), in addition to a wind tunnel at their HEADQUARTERs in the United States.
Haas an American machine tool manufacturer, machine tools sold to the world, holding the NASCAR team, F1 is too expensive, not profitable, Haas to do F1 purpose should be to promote the Haas brand is greater than the team's record.
Two: Marriage to Ferrari:
From the small glory at the beginning of 2016 to the fall of the team in 21-22, it was completely following the rhythm of Ferrari, Ferrari is good, Haas is slightly better, Ferrari is poor, Haas must be worse.
The current Ferrari is not in the same grade as Mercedes and Red Bull, so as Ferrari's little brother, you can imagine that it will be worse.
Three: About the driver candidates:
We all know that Ma Zeping came with a us dollar sponsorship, and Haas has no reason to refuse. Petit Pardi was certainly better than Ma zepin, but Haas bowed his head in front of the money.
In addition, as the prince of Ferrari's key training, Mik Schumacher can not take this seat, why?
The influence of the Schumacher family in F1, as the most outstanding racing driver in F1 in history, if Schumacher's son Mick can continue to maintain the heat and record, then there is no doubt that it will have a great impetus to the sport of F1.
In addition, the relationship between the Schumacher family and Ferrari is undoubtedly very good, and Mick, as a racing driver that Ferrari focuses on training, is undoubtedly more suitable for Haas.
In the end, Mick, as the champion of F2 and F3, can not say that Mick also relies on relationships, Mick relies on strength, but it is really compared with his father, no doubt a little worse.
Four: Deep question, haas car really can not compete with other cars?
Let's look at the Renault team, Alonso won the third place at the Qatar Grand Prix, and it was also the first time Alonso had reached the podium in several years, which was indeed accidental, if Bottas did not retire, maybe the podium would be gone, but F1 is full of variables.
Suppose Mick's dad Schumacher, driving Haas's car, can get points?
The answer is yes, for example, at the Turkish Grand Prix in October this year, Mick won the best qualifying result P14, indicating that the car is not so slow and that each team has a difference in adaptability to the track.
If Mercedes has an advantage in the long straights, if the whole track has more long straights, then the probability of Mercedes' success is greater.
For example, rain war, this uncertainty is even more!
So at the peak, Schumacher driving Haas's car must be able to get a lot of points.
I felt that Mick was driving too gently.
You can see, Mick withdrew very little throughout the year, and it can be said that the driving was very stable.
But there are really not many highlights, and the best ranking is p14.
Mick drove without aggression.
At the heart of it is that there is a worse opponent, Ma Zeping, and Mick is basically much better than Ma Zeping in every game.
This also leads to the fact that without a good team opponent to compete, Mick will continue to lose.
Imagine that in 3 years, maybe Mick can drive a Ferrari car and save Ferrari again!
