Gene Haas hopes for a quick response

Also engaged in NASCAR with his Steart stable-Haas Racing, of which he is co-owner (he notably fields Danica Patrick and Tony Stewart), Gene Haas wants quick answers. Indeed, if the American's project is solid and will be accepted by the FIA, according to Bernie Ecclestone, time could be running out for the American team to prepare for the 2015 season. "I'm sure what he (Bernie Ecclestone) announced will, Haas explains. We needed to know already two months ago. If Mr Ecclestone says we are accepted and the FIA ​​gives us some sort of notice in the next two weeks, then we can consider lining up next year. On the other hand, if we lose another month, I don't think we will be ready in time. »

The project for the possible Haas team in F1 would be based on a Dallara chassis and a partnership with Ferrari regarding the engine.
