The second half of the season gets underway this weekend with the Belgian Grand Prix, which kickstarts a European triple-header.
The second half of the season has already sparked into life for the Haas F1 Team, who have announced a brand-new team partner.
Online financial trading platform Hantec Markets has been announced as a new partner of the team, who have been looking for new partners since ending their relationship with Uralkali at the start of the season.
Many wondered if Haas would struggle financially; however, the team has always maintained that they aren’t financially in danger.
