The situation of the racers of the American team Haas it slowly gets a clear picture. Even before the next race in Singapore, which will be on the program 22. September, the decision of who will be in the season could fall 2020 teammate Kevin Magnussen. That's what he said Gunther Steiner in an interview with a Formula 1 podcast "Starting Grid".
"We hope to be able to release the name of the racer next week,He said Steiner and confirmed that except Romain Grosjean in Nice Hülkenberg no one else has a chance. “The decision will fall between Romain and Nice. We have not yet made a final decision, but it will come soon.“From the point of view Steiner and team owner Gene Haas, all the factors are on the table. In the said podcast Steiner confirms that it is now only a matter of one morning they wake up and feel, which direction is right for the future of the team.
As for the negotiations with Hülkenberg, the topic of money has already been clarified. Steiner he finally hinted that they can’t afford all the racers on the market. But Hulkenberg is at Renault in recent years, according to the media, earned 18 million euros. This supposedly allows him to be a little more flexible with his next contract. “I don’t want to discuss his finances - whether he has enough money or wants to have more. He has to decide for himself. But it’s not just about the money and the last race. For us, it’s much more about the team. What we have achieved and what we want to achieve."
South Tyrol Hulkenberg marks for very a good racer and a good man. Oh Grosjean however, in the podcast he spontaneously says: “Up and down, ups and downs. Romain is certainly good on a given day, but he also has days that are not so good. And that's his problem."
We will definitely not see him in the team Pascal Wehrlein, A Ferrari development racer. Steiner he otherwise confirmed that he was Nemec on the team list Haas for the summer 2017, but: “He has now been out of Formula 1 for two years.And as is well known, American team prefers to hire experienced racers. “He was in a paddock a few races ago. He came to visit and asked me if there was any possibility. I told him that unfortunately she was not there. And this is precisely because he has not been in Formula 1 for two years, because we want someone who has experience and has been present in Formula 1 for a long time."
