F1 2016: Haas hire Gutierrez

Sunday, November 01 2015 by SNTV
  • Ferrari reserve driver Esteban Gutierrez is named as Romain Grosjean's team-mate at the new Haas Formula 1 team in 2016 by founder Gene Haas.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Gene Haas, Haas F1 Team founder:

    "The person that we chose came highly recommended by Ferrari. He's the third driver for Ferrari. He has a history of racing in Formula 1. He raced in 2013-14 (for Sauber) and is currently on the reserve Ferrari list, so we feel that he has the potential to add to our team. He comes with a great heritage of North America. We are very honoured to have a driver that does come from Mexico, so we feel that this driver line-up, a more mature driver with a newer driver, is basically a very competitive blend of driver personalities. I know both of them a little bit personally and I think they are going to get along fabulously and that is very important for the drivers to learn from each other. So I have high expectations."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Esteban Gutierrez, Formula 1 driver:

    "Both Kimi (Raikkonen) and Sebastian (Vettel) have a very particular and interesting way to work with the (Ferrari) team... I think it gives me the perception of what are the good things of one driver and what are the good things of another one. And, like that, take all the good parts and bring them to my experience and to my future."
