Ferrari and Haas will share the reserve driver
The US team will not have its third driver
di Staff1 February 2016
Haas, the new American F1 team, has no plans to sign an official reserve driver. With a French driver (Romain Grosjean) and a Mexican (Esteban Gutierrez), it was assumed that the Ferrari team would hire a third American driver.
But founder Gene Haas told Sportsbusiness Daily Global: “We don't have a backup driver right now. Probably the ideal would be to find a reserve driver in common with Ferrari."
According to Haas, the need for a backup pilot has decreased in recent years due to improved safety: “With the safety we have today, a backup pilot is usually only needed for an illness or other type of emergency. So it's not as important as you might think, usually we don't have a reserve even in NASCAR."
