Three teams ask FIA about Ferrari, Haas alliance

Three teams are rumoured to have approached the FIA in regards to the alliance between the Ferrari and Haas teams.

The subject of the Ferrari and Haas alliance has been brought back into focus following Haas’ excellent start to the season.

Having been the perennial back-marker last season, Guenther Steiner’s team is now consistently challenging for points and appears to have more straight line speed than Mercedes.

Given this step up in performance, which occurred in parallel with Ferrari’s own improvement, questions have again been raised about how much information is shared between the two teams especially with the similarity between the cars’ design.

It is not known which three teams have supposedly contacted the FIA but according to Auto Motor und Sport, McLaren, Aston Martin, Alpine and Mercedes are the main suspects to choose from.

While there are logical explanations to Haas’ improvement, such as their increased time in the wind tunnel and their sacrificing of the 2021 season to focus on the new regulations, teams continue to have their doubts.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff raised the comparison between this situation and when Aston Martin, known then as Racing Point, used Mercedes’ wind tunnel.

“I think it needs reform,” he said of the team
