The problem with Haas has never been Guenther, it's always been Gene. Mfer still believes he can run a team as a privateer in 2024. Buy a chassis, buy an engine and show up on the grid, like in nascar or Indy.

While smaller teams struggled to stay alive, big players made massive investments in manufacturing and testing facilities before the budget cap came into effect. Meanwhile Haas still has zero manufacturing capabilities. They're not a manufacturer. They're an aero designer.
