Louis Delétraz has been supporting the American team as a simulator driver for two years. In 2018, the soon-to-be 23-year-old from Geneva was allowed to test for a day following the World Championship final in Abu Dhabi.
Always there
Like Brazilian Pietro Fittipaldi, Delétraz has now rejoined the HaasF1 team as an official test and reserve driver. Once the season gets underway, he will be at every Grand Prix. As he races in FIA Formula 2, this is the case at some races anyway.
Louis Delétraz: "For me, this is another step towards achieving my ultimate goal one day. After being a simulator driver in 2019, this is now another great opportunity to prove what I can do."
Haas premiere in simracing
Whether and when he will be allowed to get behind the wheel of the Haas-Ferrari VF-20 is completely uncertain. Nevertheless, the Frenchman will soon be able to represent the team. On April 5, Louis Delétraz will compete in simracing for HaasF1 in Formula One's eSports Virtual Grand Prix Series, the virtual GP series - that's all that's possible at the moment.
