Haas F1 say no changes to operations despite tariffs hitting owner's business

Apr 9, 2025, 12:20 PM ET

The U.S.-owned Haas Formula 1 team said they were carrying on as normal despite owner Gene Haas’ machine tools business reporting a “dramatic decrease in demand” as a result of President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs.

California-based Haas Automation said in a statement on Wednesday that it had reduced production, eliminated overtime and halted hiring while studying the impact of tariffs on its operations.

“While tariffs will have a significant impact on Haas Automation’s business,” it added, the company was optimistic that the Trump administration would come up with solutions to provide relief for U.S. manufacturers.

The company employs 1,700 workers at its Oxnard plant and others at factory outlets across the United States.

It said the drop in demand was from both domestic and international customers.

A team spokesperson said ahead of this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix that the statement had no impact as far as Haas F1 were concerned.

“It’s business as usual regarding the team and there is no change to our development plan, recruiting process and other projects,” the spokesperson added.

“To clarify again, no impact to the team.”

Haas, who entered F1 in 2016 and are celebrating their 10th season, are the smallest of the 10 teams on the starting grid.

F1 teams are subject to budget caps and are financed largely from sponsorship and a share of the booming Liberty Media-owned sport’s revenues. Haas use Ferrari engines and also have a technical partnership with Toyota.

SUPERIOR, Wis. (Northern News Now) – Over in Superior, about a mile past Pattison State Park, it was a bit noisy on Saturday.

After having to cancel the original first points race, Go-kart racing is back in Superior after nearly a decade.

Hundreds of fans and racers showed up at the newly renovated Black River Motorsports for a day filled with racing.

43 Go Karts competed in the event, from as young as five years old to teenagers participating.

This spring, a group came together and worked to revitalize the track.

“We’re bringing back the go-karts, we’re racing on dirt. We’re just pushing to bring more kids back into racing, and if we don’t start young, then we’re not going to get them to go back to Superior and Proctor, all the local tracks,” said Donnie Lofdahl in May.

The races are held on Saturdays throughout the summer, below is a schedule for the remainder of the season.

“Honestly, I don’t know what more I need. I feel like my car is extremely, extremely good and every time I’m kind of running down Shane, he’d just pick up the pace himself and start driving back away. It was frustrating at times, but I was happy with the effort. This is honestly my worst racetrack, so I kind of surprised myself, truthfully.”

Chase Elliott finished third, followed by Michael McDowell and Bell.

With Sunday’s race, the semifinals are set for the NASCAR In-Season Challenge. Ty Dillon passed Alex Bowman on the final lap to win their matchup. He will face John Hunter Nemechek, who eliminated LEGACY MOTOR CLUB teammate Erik Jones.

On the other side of the bracket, a sixth-place finish for Tyler Reddick advanced him past Ryan Preece. He’ll face fellow Toyota driver Ty Gibbs, who finished seventh to eliminate Zane Smith.

The next stop for the NASCAR Cup Series is the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 20. The green flag waves at 2 p.m. ET, with coverage on TNT, the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
