**Haas Extends Technical Partnership with Ferrari Until 2028**
The Haas Formula One team has extended its technical partnership with Ferrari, ensuring they will use Ferrari power units until the end of the 2028 season. This extension comes ahead of the new power unit regulations set to take effect in 2026.
Since joining the F1 series in 2016, Haas has relied on Ferrari engines, and this partnership continues to be a cornerstone of their strategy. The announcement follows Haas’s recent signing of British driver Oliver Bearman from Ferrari on a multi-year deal.
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu expressed his enthusiasm for the continued collaboration, emphasizing the importance of stability and the invaluable technical support Ferrari has provided over the years. Komatsu thanked Fred Vasseur and others at Scuderia Ferrari for their ongoing support and highlighted the long-term ambitions and growth plans of the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.
Is Kevin Magnussen willing to risk F1 race ban at Emilia Romagna GP?
Kevin Magnussen has admitted he may risk being hit with a race ban at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix if it means helping Haas score more points in the Formula 1 2024 constructors’ championship.
The Dane has come under fire for his recent performances on track after clocking up an unprecedented total of 55 seconds worth of penalties during the Miami GP race weekend with six different infractions.
The 32-year-old ran Lewis Hamilton off the track in the F1 Sprint and crashed into Logan Sargeant, ending the Williams driver’s race. It is not the first time he has been in trouble after colliding with Alex Albon in Abu Dhabi in 2023.
After racking up 10 penalty points for his actions in Miami, Magnussen is now just two away from exceeding the limit of 12, which means he will be banned from the Monaco GP if he picks up a penalty in Imola.
But Magnussen hinted he is prepared to receive his punishment from the FIA if it means helping his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg finish in the top 10.
“I think the next time is a race ban, so I’ll have to [be more conservative],” Magnussen said in the drivers’ press conference at Imola. “I don’t know. These situations where I have to play a support role for my team mate, they have been paying off, it’s been valuable to us.”
