Ecclestone does not believe in Haas' arrival in F1

The FIA ​​call for tenders for the addition of a team F1 resulted in a list of three potential candidates. If the offers from Colin Kolles and Stefan GP are considered not very credible, the interest aroused by Gene Haas was, however, considered serious. The American businessman indeed has very significant financial resources (see issue 1944 of AUTOhebdo), money often being the main barrier to F1.

But this potential of Haas Racing Developments seems insufficient for Bernie Ecclestone who does not believe in the realization of the project. “ They've been talking about it for three years, but I'd say it's unlikely.", said Bernie Ecclestone in Racer. “The fact that a person has money is not a reliable thing to rely on. Someone may have ten billion in the bank, but that doesn't mean they're ready to spend it. It has nothing to do with the resources needed. »
