Haas open to running two rookies in 2021, admits money is a factor

Haas boss Guenther Steiner said the team is exploring all options for 2021 as it looks for drivers to replace Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, but admitted money is played a part in the decision to ditch its current line-up.

On Thursday, Haas confirmed Grosjean and Magnussen will not continue beyond this season. Their partnership had started in 2017 but Steiner believes the team had extracted the maximum out of both drivers.

"Sometimes you just need change to shake up a bit the establishment, and also whatever we do next year, whether it's two rookies or not, we have always done things by not following what has been done before," Steiner said.
