Haas F1 Is Done With Rich Energy-November 2024

Image for article titled Haas F1 Is Done With Rich Energy

Pour one out for , race fans (if you were ever able to find an actual can of Rich Energy to pour out, that is). The saga looks like it’s finally over. The embattled would-be energy drink company and its bombastic leader are finally parting ways with the team.
