Dale Coyne Racing has announced its ninth driver so far this season, in what can best be described as a game of musical chairs at 200 miles per hour.

Haas is on the rise. The team has already scored more than twice the points from 2023, and with signing Oliver Bearman for next year the team also looks to invest in the future. Teamboss Ayao Komatsu looks to break with the philosophy of predecessor Günther Steiner who focused more on experience. The question remains…
