Haas F1's Formula 1 future will be in doubt if the team does not perform well during the early stages of the 2020 season. Gene Haas has said that staying in the sport and not performing would be too big a commitment for something that he would see minimal reward from. 

"I'm just kind of waiting to see how this season starts off," Haas told Autosport. 

"But if we have another bad year, then it would not be that favourable.

"We did five years. That was really the test - we're going to do this for five years, see how it goes and evaluate it and then we'll decide whether to go forward.

"I'm not saying we won't be back. It has to be evaluated. To do it for another five years, though, that would be a big commitment."

Haas came into the sport in 2016 and have a mixed level of success over the years. In 2019 the team finished 9th in the constructor's championship and they will want to be back up in the midfield to secure their future in the sport.
