F1 | Haas attracted by the Alfa Romeo-Sauber combination: Maserati in the background?

In the near future the Haas, through a rebranding of its brand, could follow the path taken by Clean and stipulate a motoring partnership that involves, in addition to Ferrari, also another manufacturer: perhaps the Maserati, Of which Sergio Marchionne he would like a return to Formula 1. "Why not? We are always open to dialogue. If anyone has an idea, we are always interested. Even if maybe it's not our priority" – declared the team principal Gunther steiner ad Motorsport. The South Tyrolean manager then denied having had any contact with the Ferrari before the Sauber-Alfa Romeo agreement: “No, with us there was nothing".

In its first two years of life, the American team was financed by the owner's company Gene Haas: a less than idyllic situation, due to the difficulties in finding sponsors. "It's not easy to find sponsors, but this is our priority" – Steiner admitted. “Even the big teams are in difficulty on this front, and we who are a small team are even more so. And then we must avoid selling ourselves short, because otherwise we would never recover. If you sell yourself cheap, you will never regain your value.".
