Haas: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates
The Haas F1 team are one of the newer kids on the block. They joined Formula One in 2016 with Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez as their drivers.
Since they are one of the newer teams, there is no real history to speak of. However, the team rose from the ashes of a failed bid to get a US F1 team in 2010. They bear no relation to the Haas Lola team of the 1985-86 season.
When Marussia collapsed in 2014, Haas bought their factory to use as a base of operations.

They endured a difficult campaign the following season, with the team struggling to get to grips with the VF-19. Kevin Magnussen produced some scintillating qualifying performances but failed to translate the same into concrete results on Sundays.
Ultimately, the team ended up ninth in the Constructors' Championship.
Unfortunately, they are yet to turn their fortunes around in F1. The team scored only three points in the 2020 season.
On-track Achievements
To date, their best ever result has been fourth place the 2018 Austrian GP. Grosjean was the one who achieved that result, with teammate Kevin Magnussen in fifth. It still remains their best ever result so far in their three-year tenure.
However, they were unlucky to have pitstop mishaps in the opening races squander their chances. Later on, rivals, Renault got stronger and more consistent. In the end, they had to settle for fifth in the championship.
It is also interesting to note that the team was involved in a controversy regarding their partnership with Ferrari. Many teams were under the impression that they had a significant advantage. It didn’t help matters when claims were made that their 2018 car mostly resembled Ferrari’s 2017 model.
