AUSTIN, Texas — As home races go, the U.S. Grand Prix was just like the rest of the season for Haas F1.
A clunker.
The only Formula One team owned by an American finished last again. Its two cars, driven by rookies Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin, were so far off the pace that they were two laps down when Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton raced past them to the finish.
Yet team owner Gene Haas seemed anything but disappointed in Sunday's results at the Circuit of the Americas, or the 2021 season as a whole.
