Haas Steps into F1 with Ferrari Sponsorship

Haas, set to join the F1 bandwagon as a new team from 2016, has made an early arrival to the Formula One scene. I know what you're thinking but no, not as a team, but as a sponsor. Ferrari announced that the logo of Gene Haas' automotive machine business will begin to feature on the sidepods of the 2014 Ferrari from this weekend at Silverstone.

The sponsor deal, which precedes a technical partnership with Ferrari for Haas' new US-based F1 team, will last to the end of 2015. Haas' team will make their debut in 2016 and we expect all their cars to get a V6 Ferrari power unit and gearbox.

Ferrari team boss Marco Mattiacci confirmed that the Italian team and Haas have been exploring a number of potential areas of collaboration.
