Indeed, and mazepin was really bad by nowadays' standards, but there have been even slower drivers in the past decades.

I don't think HAAS' lows are indeed lows.
Outside of retirements or being the unfortunate participant of a crash, whenever a HAAS crosses the finishing line, is a good raceday.
Low points and it is going very well indeed.
7th or higher, is a fantastic result for a HAAS.

Not really, Mick Schumacher was not that bad compared to a lot of other drivers that have been around in years gone by, but he did seem like a bit of a slow learner.

What a terrible driver pairing; worst in history?

Not even close - the golden era of pay drivers (the 1990s) had many much worse lineups!

Sure there are some highs here, a stray pole position due to weather here, a points finish there, but I can't deny that the lows are vastly higher and vastly lower than the highs ever were. The involvement with Stokely, Mazepin, the many retirements which sometimes played out as jokes (pit stop errors in Australia coming to mind here).

They did, indeed, often look like a bunch of you-know-what's. Let's see if the change of direction is going to change that.

What a terrible driver pairing; worst in history?

Thank you for the memories. A bit of a tear in my eye, I'm not ashamed to say. Thank you, Guenther, and hopefully au revoir, not goodbye.
