Congratulations to Haas F1

Gene Haas stunned the world --- or at least the racing world --- when his lead driver, Romain Grosjean, finished sixth in the team's Formula One debut early this morning. If you hurry, you can still get to your local airport bookstore and pick up the issue of Road&Track where I interview Gene Haas and Gunther Steiner. I'm surprised at the magnitude of their maiden result but not at the team's general fitness for purpose and professional performance.

If you're too cheap to buy the magazine, the article should be up later this month --- and given the limitless electrons of the Web as compared to the iron discipline of print space, I'm hoping that a few more of Jamey Price's typically outstanding photographs will be included.
