Haas does not discuss with Renault

While the owner Gene Haas hope to be able to announce the driving partner of the future American team, which will line up in F1 in 2016, in the coming weeks, Günther Steiner, the future boss of the F1 team and former Red Bull, declared in the columns of Speed ​​Week that discussions were underway with Mercedes et Ferrari, but not with Renault. 

“Renault is not on our list, Steiner explains. They don't have a gearbox and what's more, they already have contracts with four teams. » Haas was also seen this weekend in the Ferrari stand, further reviving the idea of ​​a future association. Returning to the decision to postpone the team's arrival in F2016 until 1, Steiner adds that the team now has plenty of time to prepare well. “We want to develop on our own. We will have a technical partner but the objective is to have our own chassis and our own aerodynamics. » Haas owns the Windshear wind tunnel, one of the most modern in the world, which is regularly used by teams of NASCAR, but also F1.

As for the drivers, the vagueness remains total, even if an American driver would be desired within the team.
