The Russian Grand Prix is the topic of the day after the country invaded Ukraine on Thursday morning. Tonight, Formula One teams will meet for a crisis meeting to discuss the situation surrounding the race. On the internet, F1 fans are focusing on the Haas team.
In fact, the main sponsor of Haas, Uralkali, is a Russian company. As a result, the team's livery also consists of the colors of the Russian flag. On Twitter, fans gather en masse under Haas' tweets calling for the contract with the company to be broken. They are also hoping that the team will remove the colors of the Russian flag. GPblog lists some of the reactions.

Haas, an American company, should be absolutely ashamed of themselves partnering with Russian and flying the Russian colors. Gene Haas so the right thing.
