Ahead of Formula 1’s return to action in Belgium, Haas have confirmed a new partnership with Hantec Markets.
There were fears over Haas’ finances when they split with title sponsor Uralkali pre-season, but the team maintained that they were not in danger and that the search for new partners was ongoing.
Haas principal Guenther Steiner recently revealed that negotiations were taking place with potential new partners, suggesting that some announcements were possible in the coming months.
And ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, the American outfit has now revealed a new link-up with Hantec Markets, an online financial trading platform.
The Belgian Grand Prix marks Round 14 of 22 in the 2022 Formula 1 season.
Haas state that the logo of Hantec Markets will feature on the nose of the Haas VF-22, as well as on next season’s challenger, while the logo will also be featured on the racesuits of Haas’ drivers Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher.
Hantec branding will also be visible around the Haas team garage.
“We’re delighted to welcome Hantec Markets and we look forward to a productive working partnership for the remainder of the 2022 season and beyond,” said Steiner.
“Hantec Markets provides innovation for people in emerging economic markets so that they are able to unlock their financial potential.
“It’s very similar to the type of collaboration that goes on within our race team. We want to provide our drivers with that type of innovation allowing them to unlock the full potential of our race cars.”
Nader Nurmohamed, chief operating officer of Hantec Markets, added: “Hantec Markets and Haas F1 Team are both global brands that strive for perfection in some of the most competitive environments.
“The integrity, passion and family feel of Haas F1 Team has been the driving force behind their achievements and future goals. Hantec Markets shares this ethos and has embroidered the same in tailoring our services to our client’s needs.
“We strive to provide an unrivaled trading experience to our customers, with the same attention to detail and service that Guenther and the entire team brings to each race.”
