Haas currently stands 7th in the constructors’ championship, one step ahead of the Alfa Romeo with a 2-point lead. The American team had points finish in Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Miami this season. The driver line up of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg is giving the team back-to-back good weekends. In such a scenario, a funding from Alfa Romeo can help them take this performance on the next level.
At the same time, Sauber title sponsor Alfa Romeo is not having a great outing this season so far. Driver duo of Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu have gone point-less in 4 out of the 6 races this season. As per RacingNews365, the sponsorship talks are roughly around $20 million dollars per year. This will a huge boost to the American F1 outfit into their car development programme.
