    Not super surprising it’s looking like Hulk will stick with Haas. He’s been pretty solid, especially in qualifying.

    Magnussen has been okay, but he’s definitely underperforming compared to Hulk (although probably even with last year). If I had to bet I’d say he’ll stick around too.

      Kmag has definitely been underperforming but I really think Haas need a stable pair for a couple of years at least to help develop the car.

        I totally agree. I honestly don’t think they’re all that interested in being an upper-midfield team right now.

        They seem very risk adverse. I think their priorities are don’t crash/finish every race and to occasionally score enough points to finish 7th or 8th in the constructor’s. And right now their lineup is essentially delivering that.

          I think they purely exist because Geene Haas likes to see his company’s logo driven around the circuits. He has zero ambition to achieve anything in F1. If there’s one team that’s blocking the spot of a better, more committed entry, it’s Haas.
