Haas F1 and Rich Energy Officially Part Ways

[rubaru]

Anybody knows a kid with a rich Dad that needs a seat in F1?

I bet Ferrucci could bring a hefty sponsor with him.

 

[ATSSHD]

Finally the nonsense ends.

The reason for the split is because the contract stated Rich Energy would provide unlimited amounts of Rich Energy drink to the entire HAAS team, but the team didn't receive even a single sample.

Can you imagine Grosjean driving around an F1 track while being jacked up on an energy drink?
KMag would not like this.

Rich Energy was the only reason Haas went to Black & Gold. I think they should ditch the entire livery and go for something that has at least a little bit of a USA influence.

[Antony Snook]

The only way to sell anything these days is to make it controversial. After all Controversy sells. But i think they went to far on this one.

The best solution is try something new, And scrape away bad memories. Finding a sponsor after this fiasco will not be easy. Don't forget they have to dump Mr Grosjean.

On another note, does anyone know if Haas already has the entirety of the sponsorship money in hand? I'm sure the team will be missing it if they have to go the remainder of the season with no backing. Perhaps some large US company can jump in for support like they so easily do with NASCAR.

Haas already has a American company sponsoring them.

Just add a bald eagle, and you've got yourself a new livery.

 

[Sharpy Bonfire]

This might end up bad for Hulk as they might be tempted to bring pay-driver instead of him to replace Crashjean... :/

 

[NewOne0]

Aww, I thought they'd at least drop their black/gold livery and come up with something better to look at. Hope the team finds a way through this mess.

 

[Michel Bélisle]

The original mid 80's Haas-Lola livery was indeed red-blue with a little bit of white mixed in...

[michelforest]

Maybe it is Grosjeans problem that he sipped too much Poor Energy drink.

Assuming he actually managed to find a can of the stuff...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haas_Lola

The '80s Haas F1 team was owned by Carl Haas; the current U.S. F1 team is owned by Gene Haas, founder of Haas Automation, makers of automated machine tools. Beatrice Foods sponsorship accounts for the red color on the GP cars. I seem to remember Mario Andretti driving a similarly hued Beatrice Newman*-Haas CART at Indy I found one that raced in 1985. I believe Newman-Haas later ran Kmart and Texaco Havoline Oil liveries with none other than Mr. Red 5, Nigel Mansell.

*Newman being blue-eyed actor Paul Newman who hailed from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and who set the mark for actors-turned wheel men with amazing sportscar success including outright championships, mostly in Nissan machinery. Comedian Adam Corolla owns something like ten Newman racecars and vintage races them.

BOWAH

 

[fromlondonwithlove]

Agree on ditching livery but I am afraid it would be very expensive to replace everything with those colors and if they have not signed new title sponsor, money is not something they have to spend on things like that right now...

Yup. When Force India/Racing Point took on BWT as a last minute sponsor, their uniform was still black, green and orange for a fair few races, until they could get around to replacing it with the pink and white.

I think he mean the base livery with some red, white and blue. I have a cool design in mind. I just wish we could skin F12019 cars or I'd do it. I could buy the RSS 2019 car and do that I think.

 

[Sharpy Bonfire]

Well, no surprise there, its same livery without That logo: https://www.haasf1team.com/machine

Growjean and Magnussen will stay for 2020
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/49752610

"Haas have chosen to stick with Romain Grosjean rather than replace him with Nico Hulkenberg as Kevin Magnussen's team-mate in 2020.
Haas said they decided to retain the Frenchman in the interests of stability after a difficult year technically.
Team boss Gunther Steiner said the decision was "a close call".
