No kidding.
Everyone ragging om Sargeant but Mag and Hulk not much better and Mag causes a lot more havoc. Maybe he's not as deadly as Grosjean was but still, he's under skilled.
Rumor has it there is some impending news coming Tuesday for the NASCAR side of the operation.
Haas is just fine being a middle-of-the-pack team, so they won't move off KMag. Plus, his reckless driving has proven to be quite useful to the team and to Hulk recently, so they'll sit tight with their lineup. Also, Haas is too cheap. KMag has, until today, kept his car pretty clean, all things considered. Mick has a history of wrecking and Haas won't be thrilled about shelling out unnecessary funds for repairing Mick's cars yet again. It's what cost him the seat the first time around.
Edit: On a somewhat related note, I wish we could swap Haas for Andretti. It would be nice to have an American team that cared about competing instead of just cashing in on the F1/Liberty Media money.

Fully agree on the Andretti/Haas swap...
It seems like Haas has lost a bit of interest in throwing money at F1 since they lost their Russian big money sponsorship funds. It's too bad, but F1 isn't something that's cheap.
I think Perez was more at fault.
Hey Haas, how about that energy drink comp… oh yeah, that was tried before. Get Haas out of the way and let Andretti/Cadillac in. Andretti on has some F1 pedigree.
Idiots in F1 don’t want Andretti
I have doubts about Andrettis commitment. His last spell in F1 he couldn’t be bothered to even move to Europe.
Andretti recently opened a new headquarters in Silverstone and has now started a recruiting spree to populate its European base with F1 staff, despite having been told by the series it will not be allowed to enter in the 2026 season.
The 60 vacancies include senior F1 roles such as head of aero development, head of mechanical design and various other engineering positions including aerodynamics and CFD, model design, electronics, control systems, IT, vehicle performance and manufacturing.
All roles are based in its Silverstone Park estate on the periphery of the grand prix circuit and across the road from Aston Martin's new headquarters.

Eh, they're better than Williams, Sauber, and Alpine. At least right now. I think Alpine will find some pace as the season goes along, but even then, that would put Haas in the mid-field.
Stewart Haas racing is shutting down. Wonder if F1 will follow soon.
Ya know Hulk signed with Audi
I knew he had been signed by somebody.
What happened to the Formula Atlantic series, Formula 2 from years back? I was a Rocky Mountain Region SCCA member a number of years ago and was under the impression that those were F1 light? It was FA cars, the FSCCA class with the 2.3 Ford/Mazda motors, and open wheel cars powered by rotaries. Some drivers had sponsorship, and prize money? It's amazing that companies can justify F1's cost anymore.
