Haas release fresh statement as arbitration ruling ends $13million Uralkali dispute

A long-standing dispute between Haas and former title sponsor Uralkali has been settled following an arbitration ruling from a Swiss court.

Uralkali, one of the world’s largest producers of potash, became a title sponsor of the Haas F1 team in 2021 as part of the deal to bring Nikita Mazepin to the team alongside Mick Schumacher.

Haas release fresh statement countering Uralkali’s claims​

However, following Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, Haas cut all ties with Mazepin family with immediate effect; Nikita was dismissed from his F1 seat and Uralkali, whose former chairman was Nikita’s father, Dmitry, was removed as Haas title sponsor.

Ever since, the two parties have been in dispute over the split, with Uralkali seeking refund on the $13million fee they paid Haas to cover the entirety of the F1 2022 season.

On Thursday, Uralkali claimed victory in the dispute with Haas, saying “the tribunal found that Haas was in violation of the contract and obliged the team to pay compensation to Uralkali.

“The tribunal also rejected all of the team’s counterclaims toward the company.

“The arbitral award puts an end to the dispute between Uralkali and Haas regarding the sponsorship agreement.”

But, in the lead-up to the Spanish Grand Prix, a team statement from Haas has now shed further light on the arbitration ruling with the team able to keep hold of the sponsorship fee for the period prior to the termination of contracts with Uralkali.

The two key clarifications are that the arbitration panel did not find that ‘Haas was in violation of contract’, as Uralkali claim, and the arbitration panel did not order Haas ‘to pay compensation to Uralkali’. The panel only ordered Haas to refund the portion of the sponsor fee attributable to the time after contract was lawfully terminated.
 
Would have liked to have seen Lando/McLaren stick with their plan and push the mediums for even 5 laps further to give himself enough of difference in the soft tyres to really push.

But credit to Max, he really is just that good

Ok race. It’s one of those races I wish was a couple laps longer and we’d have some nail biting but such is motor racing.

How many times have we heard this?
Max is in the lead. He can manage his tires, his engine and the gap just to stay safe. No need for anything bigger than a 1.5s gap. Why take chances?
If the race was 10 more laps the gap would have been the same.

I thought you were a Ferrari fan? U wouldn’t have wanted to see Lec and Russell battle it out?

LOL, If you are a DTS fan that doesn't make you a motorsport fan.
Race is a certain amount of laps. Every team know that for a year in advance. You do your planning for that.
Not DTS drama of what if it was longer, what if that happened.
Everyone planned for that amount of laps and if you could not do better in those laps, you did not do your job, planning and strategy well.

Read your comment. You really love to project your dts fandom on others.
 
I see British mafia still in control of F1.
Norris push Max of track onto grass at start, no penalty.
Hamilton is behind Sainz into corner, too fast for corner and push Sainz of the track. No penalty.

Tell me Jean Jeanie, which of the stewards are you claiming is British mafia?

Or is that something you heard while watching Netflix?

He’s just malfunctioning because the two drivers he despises the most were racing and he’s internally conflicted on what outcome he prefers.
 
So Lando is now 2nd. Charles drops to 3rd in the championship since he ran out of laps to get past Russell. Perez is still Sainz’s challenger for 4th with Piastri a wildcard. McLaren definitely on the charge and only 33 pts separate 2nd and 3rd in constructors.
