Deletraz test

Haas will hand Formula 2 racer Louis Deletraz his first Formula 1 run in the post-season test in Abu Dhabi later this month. The 2015 champion in Formula Renault 2.0’s Northern European Cup, and runner-up in the now-defunct FR3.5 a year later, Deletraz is 11th in the standings in his second full season in F2. The Swiss racer, son of former F1 driver Jean-denis, will pilot the team’s current-spec VF-18 on the second day of the three-day test. “I’m grateful to both Gene Haas and Gunther Steiner for giving me the opportunity to test with Haas F1 team,” he said. “It’s the perfect way to end my 2018 season, one in which I’ve continued to develop and showcase my credentials.”
