By signing up to the new Concorde Agreement<\/a> this month, the Haas F1 Team has committed themselves to the sport until at least the end of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just months earlier, team owner Gene Haas suggested that they could pull out of the sport if 2020 proved to be an uncompetitive year for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team has struggled in the opening six Grand Prix, only managing to pick up a solitary point, leaving them ninth in the Constructors\u2019 Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, team principal Guenther Steiner has now said they reconsidered due to the rule changes which will come into effect next year to make F1 more competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I guess Gene [Haas] looked at it and [saw that] Formula 1’s still a very good tool for getting his brand name, Haas Automation, out in the world,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It works \u2013 otherwise he wouldn’t be doing it. He loves the sport as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Even if it is a big financial commitment, with the new regulations coming in, it should make the playing field more even and the commercial aspects better for the smaller teams \u2013 so as a result he has decided to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing, he said, \u201cEverybody is, for sure, happy to be moving forward now with the agreement signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The budget cap should level the playing field, it will level the playing field \u2013 just maybe not in the first year, but in the mid-term for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The payments, to make it more equal, will also mean the smaller teams get a little more revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s never enough for the small teams by the way, but it levels the field and that should be the aim of a sport \u2013 any day, anybody can win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that it will take a while for the effects of these reforms to be soon on the track, but nevertheless described them as a \u201cstep in the right direction\u201d for Formula 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Times change and I think Liberty did a great job in adapting to those times and making changes when it was needed. It was needed a few years ago, but it’s better late than never,” Steiner concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
