Speaking about his plans, Haas outlined ambitions to enter the sport in 2015 or 2016, despite not yet having a factory or staff with serious F1 experience. To many, the proposal initially seemed almost impossible, given that established teams were already deep into development for the upcoming season.
Haas considered—but ultimately rejected—the idea of acquiring an existing team such as Marussia, which would have offered a ready-made foundation. Instead, he is determined to build a completely new team from scratch, relying on innovation and strategic efficiency rather than traditional European infrastructure.
He emphasized that his approach will be distinctly American, with a focus on smart spending, design flair, and operational efficiencies. By keeping costs under control while fostering creativity, Haas hopes to establish a team that can compete effectively without following the usual European model.
Ultimately, Haas’ plan reflects a desire to bring a fresh perspective to Formula 1. By combining American ingenuity with disciplined management, he aims to prove that success in the sport is possible outside the established European powerbase, challenging longstanding assumptions about what it takes to compete at the top level.
