Frustrating that Rossi appears to be on the outside looking in again. He showed some good form last year, and I believe Haas should have taken a chance on him. I realize they were probably under pressure from Ferrari to take Gutierrez (god knows why!!), but especially given that they signed up Grosjean, they really had some leeway in picking a second driver with much less experience. Bringing an American team with an American driver would have made a proper splash. Nobody gives a rat's about Gutierrez.
Not sure what's next for Rossi now, whether he'll be in a reserve anywhere, or try to get a ride in... Indycar maybe? He's too good to be just siting out the season.
That said, I feel that Haryanto is a decent appointment who will bring loads of new F1 friends in Indonesia and southeast Asia into the picture, so it's not all bad. We might have a more interesting battle between him and Wehrlein than we think.
