Yahoo Autos Gene Haas Is Fed Up With Formula 1's Baloney
Gene Haas' F1 team has had one of the most stunning debuts ever for a brand-new team. But Romain Grosjean's unexpected sixth and fifth place finishes in the first two 2016 Grands Prix have led some to accuse Haas F1 of being little more than a Ferrari surrogate-the team's VF16 cars use many Ferrari components in a Dallara chassis.
Gene Haas is having none of F1's drama. In an interview with ESPN, he responded to these accusations, and didn't mince his words.
"This place is a soap opera," said Haas. "I think a lot of the teams at the back really don't understand what competition is. They're getting maybe a little too fat and happy."
