Not super surprising it's looking like Hulk will stick with Haas. He's been pretty solid, especially in qualifying.
Magnussen has been okay, but he's definitely underperforming compared to Hulk (although probably even with last year). If I had to bet I'd say he'll stick around too.
I totally agree. I honestly don't think they're all that interested in being an upper-midfield team right now.
They seem very risk adverse. I think their priorities are don't crash/finish every race and to occasionally score enough points to finish 7th or 8th in the constructor's. And right now their lineup is essentially delivering that.
Magnussen seemed great next to Schumacher, but Hülkenberg has made him seem underwhelming, especially considering the time Nico had spent outside of Formula 1. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were to replace Magnussen.
I feel like Haas' issues this far have been more mechanical failings with a hint of collisions sprinkled in. Yes, KMag can improve on the driving but I feel it's an engineering problem that should be the main focus
