No surprises there tbh.
Yeh, not sure who they could get that would be an upgrade, Bottas or Albon? Neither are likely to move there I would think?
The only alternative would be to take on a youth academy driver from someone else for extra money or cheaper parts. But considering how expensive Mick ended up being for them, I guess Haas is vary of that option.
My thoughts exactly, Hulk and KMag perform well or well enough to keep them - never change a โwinningโ team.
And money wise they are also doing quite ok with the MoneyGram deal, if Iโm not mistaken.
I'm not surprised about them keeping both in the end, but I'm a bit surprised how early it was announced. I would've expected them to explore possible options a bit longer, especially from the point of view of pairing Hรผlkenberg with a young driver. Seems like they prefer to stick with the safe choice.
This is very true. I also didnโt expect them to announce it this earlyโฆ but as I mentioned in another comment โnever change a winning teamโ.
But to all fairness, they a both doing great. As you mentioned, I also think they prefer more experienced driversโฆ and who is left in this category?
Gene was at the last or second-to-last racing weekend and they clearly signed back then.
