The Haas presence is obviously bigger in the part of the industrial estate or the retail part that it occupies.

It is a bit more grand than Arden and Mahindra, obviously because of the scale.

But actually when you clock the building from the outside, it basically just looks like a unit on a retail part of a Haas sign at the top.

And then you go in through the gates and there's, you know, a more, a more F1 standard kind of bespoke Haas facade to the building.

Um,

Huge competition for parking.

Yes, massive.

Yeah, so there are cars... What's the polite way of putting it?

create finding creative parking spaces within what's allowed um you can't just abandon your car in the middle of the road obviously um but you can pretty much basically if you find it if um if it if it fits they park basically um that's just a a reality of it and and it looks like it looks like i know it doesn't house everything that the majority of f1 teams house because of what we've been talking about what it does and doesn't do and where it's designed facilities based and and all of that

But it doesn't look like it should be.

It doesn't look like behind those walls, there will be the majority of an F1 team or especially, you know, the running of an F1 team.

It actually looks a bit like a kind of anyone who's been to a kind of, I don't know, touring.

car facility or a national race team it looks like a glorified national racing team set up basically like a really big UK based racing team or international racing team based in the UK rather than an F1 team and it's hard because if you haven't been to these factories and we've been lucky we've probably been to pretty much all of them if not all of them between us now um

The big ones blow you away.

The average ones are still really impressive.

And then Haas is kind of on an island on its own.

And really walking around it, it's kind of Pandora's boxy in a way.

Because you look at it from the outside and you just think, that's a bit like... How do you fit an F1 team in there?

That's not super impressive.

And then you go inside and you go, there's so much more in here than I thought there would be.
