Be wary of the competitiveness of the Haas F1 Team's 2022 Ferrari “copy”[F1-Gate .com]

The Haas F1 Team may make a breakthrough in the midfield by racing in a “copy” of the Scuderia Ferrari in 2022.

Last year, the Haas F1 Team decided not to develop the 2021 machine by fully allocating resources in 2022 when the new F1 regulations will be introduced. As a result, he couldn’t get even one point and ended the Constructors’ Championship by resuming.

However, throughout 2021, the Haas F1 Team will set up a new facility on the premises of Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters in Italy.

Many insiders have been impressed with the new Haas F1 Team car, but they see similarities with Ferrari, which was undoubtedly the field leader in the F1 preseason test.

“It’s a copy of Ferrari, moving from the back to the middle, which is a big deal,” former F1 driver Christian Danner told Sport1.

The similarities between the Haas F1 Team and the Scuderia Ferrari cars have also been noted by rival teams.

Andreas Seidl, McLaren’s team representative, said, “I can’t really talk about Haas and Ferrari.”

“But hopefully, it’s a well-known fact that such a relationship can exist within the limits of regulation. At this point, I’m wondering how much it is.”
