Earlier, the Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/] team made a rather strange accusation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/rivals-grow-suspicious-of-ferrari-engine/] against the Scuderia Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/] team. According to Red Bull boss, Christian Horner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Horner], “The fuel from the Ferrari garage smells like grapefruit juice”. Apparently, the Haas F1 team found the funny side of that remark. Afterwards, the Ferrari customer team were questioned about the odd accusation. That was when team principal Guenther Steiner cracked open the joke book and came out with a hilarious reply. Speaking to Auto Motor und Sport, Guenther Steiner said, “We were asked before the season which fragrance we wanted. We chose raspberry.” On a more serious note, AMuS discovered that Haas and Ferrari do not use the same fuel. According to the GPS data, the Ferrari V6 has more power on the factory team than in the customer teams. Haas boss, Steiner explained further: “I think the difference on the straights is a combination of engine and drag.” 

A couple of days ago, Red Bull revealed that the fuel used by Ferrari smelt like
'grapefruit juice' and the Haas F1 team responded brilliantly

<h2>Chinese Grand Prix - Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
The Chinese Grand Prix has been a constant host of F1 races since 2004. It had earned itself the reputation for being the most expensive circuit until 2009, when the Abu Dhabi Circuit came into existence.

The Shanghai International Circuit, designed by the Tilke Company, ranks among the most adventurous and challenging circuits in the world. The pattern of the circuit is the first letter from 'Shanghai,' which translates to 'ascend'.

The concept of bringing Chinese soil to F1 racing ground started in the 1990s. The first track, the Zhuhai International Circuit, was not appropriate for staging a Grand Prix, as marked by the FIA. But the country’s government was determined to host the Chinese Grand Prix.

In 2004, they announced the Shanghai International Circuit to be the track for all upcoming races.

The COVID-19 situation has, however, affected the calendar which led to the cancellation of this season’s race. There is major planning underway to get back to the sport next season.

<h2>Circuit Details</h2>
The Circuit of Shanghai is famous for its layout, which makes the race extremely thrilling.

The track measures 5.451 kilometers and has 16 turns. The circuit provides 56 laps that are covered in the entire duration of the race, which covers 305.066 kilometers.

This circuit is much more complicated than the other F1 registered circuits that exist. The first four laps that form the "snails" are the most challenging part of the circuit.

The other laps are considerably less complicated, with proper tactics of racing. The racers are fond of lap 7 and 8, which have chicanes that allow smooth overtaking.

Lap 11 to 14 provides the next set of a complicated pattern that affects the pace of a racer. It includes sharp and testing chicanes and a lengthy right-hander that leads to extreme pressure on the racer to keep up with their proper performance.

The Shanghai International Circuit, which has achieved FIA Grade 1 promises to give an event packed with thrill and adventure, ensuring safety protocols don't take a backseat.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.

The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport.

<strong>Haas' Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong>

The Haas F1 team is 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. It bears 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.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-135918 size-full" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/grosjean.jpg" alt="Haas F1" width="932" height="524" />

<strong>On-track Achievements</strong>

Till date, their best ever result has been 4th place the the 2018 Austrian GP. Grosjean was the one who achieved that result, with teammate Kevin Magnussen in 5th. It would remain as their best ever result so far in their 3-year tenure.

For 2019, the team will be rebranded Rich Energy Haas F1. This is owing to gaining Rich Energy as a main sponsor. In 2018, Haas established themselves as one of the teams to beat in the early part of the season.

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 5th in the championship.

It is also interesting to note that the team were 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 the Ferrari's 2017 model.

<strong>Haas' Sponsors</strong>

The American outfit is backed by three main sponsors, namely Alpinestars, Haas Automation and Pirelli. But, in 2019, they will be joined by a new title sponsor, Rich Energy.
