More bad luck for Haas: cargo plane stranded en route to Bahrain

Things are not going well for the Haas Formula 1 team. The American racing team was forced to break with title sponsor Uralkali, which means the team is now without a major backer, and on the way to Bahrain for the winter test there, fate struck again: their cargo plane is stranded.

Haas stranded at Doncaster Airport

Most of the Formula One teams are expected to arrive in Bahrain during the day on Monday. Haas may not make it, though, as the team's cargo plane is stranded at Istanbul airport with technical problems. This is what Auto, Motor und Sport reports.

The plane was on its way to Doncaster Airport to pick up the cars and spare parts, but the cargo will have to wait a little longer to be transported to Bahrain. The team is reportedly currently trying to charter a cargo plane that can transport the equipment to Bahrain via Leipzig.

Small correction... the Haas cars were stuck at Doncaster Airport (not London). Apologies.

Last thing I heard was they are trying to catch another cargo aircraft from East Midlands Airport later today to get the freight to Bahrain via Leipzig (Germany). #AMuS #Haas
