Haas has only fallen out of favor in the past few years as tight funding and lack of infrastructure meant they lagged behind superior teams. An initially sympathetic team for its underdog story has now disappeared in the shadow of mediocrity.
Although Haas has vowed to step up its efforts for the 2022 season, the new regulations give them the opportunity to take a giant leap in the F1 field.
