The company sees the decision of the Haas team as unfounded and is of the opinion that politics should not be involved in sports and that it should be independent of external factors. "
"At Uralkali, we will therefore protect our interests by all legal means, which means that we will legally challenge the decision of the Haas team and demand the return of already paid sponsorship funds and compensation for the damage caused by the team's decision."
"Since we have already paid most of the sponsorship funds for this season to the account of the Haas team, the unilateral termination of the contract means that Haas must return all the funds already paid to us. We will then use it to establish the We Compete As One charity foundation. "
