Haas: “Gutierrez joins our team for his experience at Ferrari”

In an interview with ESPN, Gene Haas, owner of the new Haas team, spoke about the choice to focus on Esteban Gutierrez, explaining the reasons that led to the hiring of the Mexican driver. According to the American manager, the ex-Sauber driver's experience in Ferrari can help the new American structure to progress in the development of the new single-seater. Furthermore, the Mexican knows the new "Made in Marabello" power unit perfectly.

Here are the words of Gene Haas: “The choice to focus on Esteban was relatively easy. His experience, combined with his young age, was the ideal choice for our team. It's true, he didn't drive during the last season but he spent a lot of time inside the Ferrari simulator and this could come in really handy. I'm sure he will be able to give us a great hand"
