Mexico City: Mexican Esteban Gutierrez will race for the new U.S.-owned Haas Formula One team next season after being officially appointed on Friday (October 30).
Hass said the 24-year-old Ferrari reserve driver, who raced for Sauber in 2013 and 2014, will join Frenchman Romain Grosjean in the Ferrari-powered team that makes its debut in 2016.
The news was entirely expected and seen as Formula One`s worst-kept secret.
"I feel very grateful to Gene (Haas) who has shown faith in my potential as a driver, as I contribute, together we`ll go on to achieve many great things," Gutierrez said after being presented at Mexico City`s Soumaya Museum.
