2016 Australian Grand Prix … FP1 starts in a few minutes

So we are at zero hour. After the long wait, we’re here… This the first race weekend. Early expectation is to just get through practice without any mechanical difficulties. My tendency is to over stress my expectations. But so much of my expectation is based on the fundamentals of what the Haas team is built on.

 

And Gene Haas has made a few bold statements, he loves racing. The cars look great in the standard Haas palet of colors and really paints a nice picture of all of his cars for that eventual picture.

 

To the drivers I say God Bless you all and may you all be safe. That said, GAME ON!!! The Americans are on the grid and WE ARE NOT FIELD FILLERS! Just finishing only means we can build a car… every race counts. And we will get points in the Australia, no doubt!  And I love our drivers.

Richie OUT!

Welcome to my 2016 Haas F1 Fan Journal

Follow me as I follow the Haas F1 Team during their inaugural season. I’ll maintain a running commentary on the team, as a fan! The site format is a work in progress. The season will be exciting, and I ask forgiveness now for anything said under the duress of racing or from the pure emotion of being a Haas F1 Fan! I hope the team does not get pissed at me if I say the wrong thing, you know I’ve been a positive supporter from day 1… The Americans are back. We have an owner that knows what he’s doing and a bit of an edge to his tude, a competitive car, an awesome livery, and two drivers that will not only attract new race fans, but the ladies! It’s all good!
