WHILE A FORMULA 1 ORGANIZATION IS GOING THROUGH A DRAMATIC SHAKEUP TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE SEASON, THE STEWART-HAAS RACING NASCAR TEAM MAY VERY WELL FEEL RESIDUAL EFFECTS. GENE HAAS DUMPED HIS F1 OUTFIT’S PRIMARY SPONSOR ON SATURDAY OVER THE WAR IN UKRAINE AT A COST POTENTIALLY RUNNING INTO THE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS FOR MICHAEL ANDRETTI
Gene Haas dropped the Haas F1 team's primary sponsor, Uralkali, in light of the tensions in Ukeraine.
The new changes in F1 cost considerably more than NASCAR Cup Series. Gene Haas has admitted to trimming the spending in the Cup-Series.
After losing their primary sponsor in F1, Gene Haas might reduce the money spent on Cup-Series further, possibly reducing Harvick's chances of winning the Cup.
Michael Andretti has been interested in buying the Haas F1 team but they were not interested in selling. This might increase his chances of buying Haas.
