Haas wants to see "concrete plans" from F1 owners

As a new team in its second season, Haas F1 is at the bottom of the income pecking order, which means its owner is having to invest more than the likes of Red Bull and Mercedes.

Haas is keen to see the financial picture change in years to come.

"I think everything's positive but I think now we want to see some concrete plans," Haas told Motorsport.com.

"What are they going to do? They've obviously introduced two more races next year, and that's good. They've said a lot of things, and now it's which ones are actually going to be backed.

"It would certainly make the teams a lot more comfortable to know exactly what to expect, rather than keep hoping that what we're going to get actually comes true."

Haas is supportive of the introduction of a budget cap, which would clearly help teams further down the field.

"I think it benefits us the most, because we're one of the smaller teams, and any kind of budget cap means the bigger guys are going to spend less," he said.

"There's something there, you can't keep having one team dominate year after year. There has to be some equalisation there somehow so that the teams in the back at least have a chance in hell of winning once in a while.

"I think the budget cap is something they can do before a new Concorde Agreement, so if everybody agrees to that, it looks promising.

"Like I say, we hear all these things, now is the time for something to come out that we can see in writing so we know how to make plans, because next year's here already."

Haas admits that the major teams are unlikely to agree to a redistribution of income that might hurt them and benefit the rest of the field.

"They're going to squeal like pigs, I guarantee you on that one!," he joked. "We're not going to see that part of the equation at all.

"We're looking at the crumbs, so if we've get a few more crumbs our way, we'll be happy with that. We know we're the new guys on the block, but we're kind of hopeful that the pendulum will swing our way.

"But so far nothing really major has happened. It's tough, especially for a team starting out, because you don't have Column A or Column B money, so you have to survive on your own for a few years."
