really is about the here and now in the next few years, because they've really only scratched the surface over what is possible in terms of enhancing Haas.

They could have this relationship for 10, 15 more years and still be getting more and more and more out of it.

And it doesn't need to be anything else.

Yeah, it's such a curious team in that regard.

It's difficult to imagine it continuing indefinitely for the next 10, 20, 30 years in this sort of form, constantly dependent on other entities beyond needing an external engine to pilot.

So let's put it that way, which is a bit more in the normal scheme of things.

So...

It's one of those teams that I think there's lots and lots and lots of potential directions for it.

They could sell to a completely different entity.

And again, Gene Haas has shown no inclination to sell.

There have been potential buyers who have got in touch with them, and it's very possible that maybe...

at least one of those buyers may even have actually had the resources to potentially do something serious because there are a lot of chances around sniffing about F1 teams.

But that's also a possibility.

But I almost feel like if you were buying a Formula One team, to an extent with Haas, you're buying the slot, aren't you?

And then you're kind of doing a bit like BAR did with Tyrrell.

You're effectively doing a startup team using that entry.

I mean, there's lots of good people there and good things.

It would be less disconnected than that was, but it would be in that sort of thing because

if you look at what you're actually getting there with Haas, the slot is the most valuable.

And then you're thinking, well, we've got this, but that's a contract with Ferrari that delivers that.
