Banned F2 driver Santino Ferucci keeps Haas development role

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Haas will retain development driver Santino Ferrucci in his current role "for the time being" despite the recent controversy around his ban from Formula Two.

American driver Ferrucci was dropped by F2 team Trident after a series of incidents at the championship's Silverstone which had culminated in being handed a four-race ban. At that race his rap sheet included a delibertate collision with Trident teammate and fellow Haas development driver Arjun Maini

Ferrucci has since found a drive with IndyCar team Dayle Coyne Racing for the races at Portland and Sonoma, which close out the 2018 season.
