Ex-driver is certain
Schumacher: “Sign that Haas is for sale”
After Toyota's surprising Formula 1 return has already caused a sensation, ex-Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher sees this as a sign that Haas is for sale. A possible takeover is already being discussed.
It was a bombshell in Formula 1: the US American Haas Formula 1 team and Toyota announced a multi-year technical partnership last week. "This is simply a partnership with obvious benefits for both sides," said Haas boss Ayao Komatsu.
But even though Toyota Gazoo Racing, the motorsport division of the car manufacturer, will initially only "provide design, engineering and manufacturing services and share knowledge and expertise", the future plans are likely to be more mature, as experts suspect.
"I have a lot of faith in Toyota"
As reported by "Sport1", Toyota is said to want to take a close look at the situation for the time being and then consider further investments. A future takeover of the team is also possible. This also coincides with the assumptions of ex-Toyota driver Schumacher: "For me, the partnership with Toyota is a clear sign that Haas is for sale," explains the German.
The 49-year-old also has a few words of advice for Toyota: "What's important now is that they change their engineering philosophy. In my day, they always rotated their engineers from department to department. But in Formula 1, you need experts in every field and not people who know a little about everything. Then I have a lot of confidence in Toyota. Because the financial resources are there."
