Us-owned Haas have become the fifth Formula 1 team to put a major part of their workforce on enforced leave as a result of the coronavirus crisis. The majority of their UK-based employees are now on furlough, following similar moves by McLaren, Williams, Racing Point and Renault in the past 10 days. Haas drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen have agreed to pay cuts. F1 teams are on a mandatory factory shutdown, moved forward from August in the hope of freeing up the schedule for races once coronavirus-related restrictions are lifted in countries across the world.
