Haas confirms Fittipaldi test in Bahrain, seat remains vacant

Gene Haas has confirmed that a Brazilian, Pietro Fittipaldi, who is also expected to be a candidate for the vacant seat left after the departure of Nikita Mazepin, will test with Mick Schumacher in Bahrain this week. “We are examining several candidates and we will see who will be available, but the racer will be selected by Wednesday,” Haas said of the selection of the team’s second racer. "Pietro will be testing because that's why he's on our team, and we may be looking for someone with more experience as a racer." Haas insists the team is still financially well-supported, even though it has cut ties with big sponsor Uralkali. “We have received a lot of criticism over the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” Gene explained. "It was too much for us and our other sponsors and we had to take action. The financial situation is solid. Of course we would have preferred to see if we had more den

COULTHARD: MICK will have to master MAZEPINA quickly

formula 1

Formula 2 rivals Schumacher and Mazepin will form a racing duo of newcomers to Haas in the 2021 season, as the Americans decided to completely change the racing alliance and therefore did not renew their contracts with Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean. Mick, the son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, is a member of Ferrari’s Academy of Young Racers and a natural step forward would be to race in the future for the team his father dominated for five years (2000-2005) in Formula 1. But the 21-year-old The German gained a reputation as a slow starter in the lower categories before finally showing his quality. Coulthard believes he doesn’t have exactly that much time on his side in Formula One. "I saw him progress from the lower formulas. He is focused, perfectly physically fit

HAAS: NIKITA MAZEPIN will race in Formula 2021 in the 1 season

Haas

Nikita Mazepin will be racing in Formula 1 for Haas despite the latest incidents next season. This was confirmed by the American team yesterday in a press release. The Russian thus remains as a planned team-mate of Mick Schumacher. Two weeks ago, Mazepin took negative attention with an Instagram video in which we could see him touching a woman. Otherwise, two statements followed, from the affected woman, who claimed that she uploaded this video to Mazepin's smartphone just for fun, and the 21-year-old Russian apologized and withdrew the disputed video. https://twitter.com/HaasF1Team/status/1341731640549240835 His Haas team condemned the case as disgusting and announced internal consequences. A conversation with Nikita was done, but this did not lead to the loss of the seat. "P

MICK SCHUMACHER in defense of LEWIS HAMILTON: Nothing goes without saying

formula 1

Mick Schumacher will not be putting pressure on the gas in Formula 1 races until March next year, but that doesn’t stop him from getting involved in the most frequently mentioned debates in the royal class of motorsport. Following Max Verstappn’s comment on Lewis Hamilton’s dominance, Michael Schumacher’s son has sided with the Mercedes star. “If we look at champions who have been very dominant at certain stages, there is often a risk that some things will be overlooked,” Mick Schumacher said in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. And in doing so, the 21-year-old draws on Verstappn’s statement that Hamilton’s successes are primarily related to the dominant Mercedes race car. "I have a great deal of respect for what they've achieved. I'm not frustrated that Lewis is sitting in a Mercedes. But if I'm from

FERRARI is planning a separate center for the HAAS team in Maranello

Ferrari, Haas

Ferrari has reacted to the arrival of the budget ceiling and has already started sending important co-workers elsewhere, for example to a partner team. Thus, at the beginning of the month, it was announced that Simone Resta, head of the chassis department, will be sent to the Haas team, where he is expected to occupy a position that is yet to be defined. According to the Italian team, Resti is expected to be followed by further Ferrari colleagues in The Hague. A separate center is to be set up near Ferrari's Maranello plant for this purpose, in which the affected Ferrari employees will in the future work exclusively for Haas. "These people will work in a building in Maranello, completely separate from Ferrari. They will not have access to the Ferrari premises. It will be separate and they will stay there," explained Mattia Binotto, Ferrari's head of team. Ferrari will be due to the arrival of zg

Is Nikita Mazepin at Haas already ex?

Haas

Recall, Nikita Mazepin recently posted a video on his Instagram profile in which he groped Venezuelan model Andrea D'lVal. The event sparked a wave of outrage in the racing paddock, especially in his new team, which distanced itself from the event. There have also been hints that the Russian racer's action should cost even a Formula 1 seat. On the other hand, currently their test racer Pietro Fittipaldi has added a HaasF1 driver to the description on his Twitter profile. We are still waiting for official confirmation, but it may well be that the unwise act blocked the way for the Russian to Formula 1. The media asked about Mazepin's case

Nikita MAZEPIN: BAD BOY, even before he came to F1

Haas

The new drivers of the Haas team for the next Formula 1 season took care of a lot of media announcements even before the start of the season. Mick Schumacher more with a title in F2, friendly demeanor and concentrated first laps in the Haas race car. Nikita Mazepin, on the other hand, has at least the reputation of a new Formula 1 bad boy at the moment. a sign indicating the distance to the bend, and a few days later his Instagram video, in which he similarly uncompromisingly touches the girl in the back seat of the car, caused a stir. https://twitter.com/FIA_F2/status/1335340671582998532 All in all, it led to the fact that pe

BERGER: We shouldn't push MICK into MICHAEL's father's shoes

formula 1

Just because he bears the famous last name, Mick Schumacher's expectations before his premiere season in Formula 1 are very special. Michael Schumacher's son has proved with his titles in Formula 3 and finally Formula 2 that he is definitely qualified in the field of sports. “In Schumacher’s way, he handled one championship after another and if he didn’t immediately win the title, he did it again to really learn that focus on the championship,” so former Formula 1 racer Gerhard Berger on Servus TV, who in the young German see great potential. "I believe he has Schumacher's genes and will make his way in Formula 1." However, the Austrian, like many before him, warns against too high expectations. “We shouldn’t force him or shove him into Father Michael’s shoes,” p

At HAAS, enthusiastic about MICK SCHUMACHER

Haas

The numbers don’t always tell the truth. If we were to take as a criterion only the timeline of the test of young racers in Abu Dhabi, then Mick Schumacher’s fans should already be concerned now that he has reached the last place. But for the Formula 2 champion and his team Haas, this is completely irrelevant, as Mick had different goals on the Yas Marina Circuit track and not a fast lap time. As the only team to take part in this test, Haas focused on only one race car: for Mick Schumacher. This was his second appearance in this year's Haas VF-20 race car, as he made his first on Friday, December 11, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix free practice. Young Schumacher worked on the balance of the car in the morning and was mostly on the track with a medium C4 tire mix. He did long distances in the afternoon, pr

How GROSJEAN spoiled MAGNUSSEN's surprise with his UNHAPPINESS

formula 1

As a farewell, Kevin Magnussen received a very special gift from the Haas team - the steering wheel of the car that the Dane has long wanted. Haas team boss Günther Steiner already had one available as a farewell gift after four years of living together for each of the racers. “I wanted to give them a gift that isn’t cheap,” says the South Tyrolean. "Racers get a lot of presents, they put them in the garage somewhere, and then they throw them away five years later when they put them away. Just like it always happens with stupid gifts," Steiner says. Something like this can’t happen with a race car steering wheel: “They respect you because it’s so hard to get to them,” Steiner adds. That is why Haas has already prepared such a souvenir for both drivers upon departure. Coincidentally, Magnussen informed his boss before the race in Bahrain
