With “Moneygram”, the Haas team has found a new title sponsor following the separation from Uralkali, but in the future the racing team of the US entrepreneur Gene Haas might have a completely different partner: According to the latest rumors, Nico Hülkenberg’s team will be compete in future with Alfa Romeo as a partner in Formula 1. Because the Italians will end their title sponsorship with the Sauber team following the current season, as they will compete as an Audi works team from 2026.
Rumors of a possible deal between the Italians and the Haas team were fueled by a visit by Alfa Romeo brand manager Jean-Philippe Imparato, who took the opportunity in Monaco to see Haas team boss Günther Steiner. However, there were no negotiations, as the South Tyrolean emphasized in the Barcelona paddock.
“Of course they’re looking at what they can do in the future and they’ve come over to see how we’re doing. They introduced themselves, there was nothing more, »Steiner clarified. «I have never met the CEO and we were introduced to each other. There was nothing we had to hide. He just said hello and that was it.”
When asked whether a collaboration is conceivable in the future, he answered evasively: “I don’t know, because we’ve never talked regarding it. I’ve never discussed this with Gene and nothing is on the table regarding it.”
