Haas F1 team boss Guenther Steiner thinks that it would be psychologically damaging for teams and drivers if Formula 1 start discussions over canceling the 2020 season. As per speculations, the decision on Haas F1’s future is highly dependent on the 2020 season. Team owner Gene Haas is yet to make a commitment to the long term future of Haas in formula 1.
Until this point in time, the coronavirus pandemic has led to the delay or dropping of eight races. With the season postponed until mid-June in Canada, at the earliest. A choice on whether the upcoming race will proceed or not is yet to be made. And a decision on the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in mid-July is due to be taken around Easter.
