From Rockstars to Wankors: Haas Implodes in Spanish Monsoon Meltdown

Barcelona, Spain – Formula Odin fans expected drama in Spain, but few could have imagined the chaos that unfolded in Race 3 of Season 2. As thunder cracked over the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and rain poured down in sheets, the Grand Prix turned into a biblical endurance test — and for Haas F1, it was a holy disaster.
After the high of Brazil, where Pietro Pepovic and Yisk Svensson stunned the grid with a spectacular P2/P3 finish, Spain delivered a soul-crushing reality check. Slipping, sliding, and spinning their way through treacherous conditions, both drivers finished outside the points — P12 and P13 — in a race so soaked that fans were left asking how it wasn’t red-flagged.

⛈️ “Biblical” Doesn’t Even Begin to Cover It
Thunderstorms rolled in minutes before lights out. By Lap 5, half the grid had already hydroplaned through Sector 3 at least once. Visibility was near-zero. Cars aquaplaned down the main straight. Marshals were seen wearing fishing waders. One AlphaTauri mechanic was allegedly struck by a flying baguette from the hospitality suite (Alpine did not want to comment on this inchident).
But the chaos didn’t stop the race officials. Somehow, inexplicably, the full race distance was completed under green flag conditions.
“I don’t know how the race wasn’t stopped. I couldn’t see my own steering wheel,” said Vahishton Turboslav, who finished P6 with only one working windshield wiper.
💥 Steiner Detonates
No one took the result harder than Haas team boss Günther Steiner, who was reportedly seen foksmashing his office door off its hinges in the garage post-race.

“I foking had enoff of both of you!” he was heard shouting. “We were looking like rockstars. Now we look like a foking bunch of wankors!”
Sources say Steiner was so furious he cancelled the post-race media debrief and instead launched the team into a mandatory wet-weather simulator marathon, dubbed “Monsoon Mode”, in preparation for Monza, which has a 60% chance of rain next weekend.
“We’re not going to be sliding around like ducks again,” one engineer muttered as he wheeled out the old 2018 wet tyres for training.
📉 From Heroes to Zeroes
Just a week ago, Haas was being hailed as the dark horse of Season 2, with Pepovic and Svensson earning the team’s first double podium in Odin history.
Now?
No points in Spain
Down three places in the Constructors’ standings
Two drivers soaked, silent, and allegedly not on speaking terms post-race
The Spanish GP has shattered the momentum the American team built in Brazil — and with Monza coming fast, Steiner has one goal:
“If we don’t score in Italy, I’m foking replacing both of them with wet foking sandbags. At least they don’t spin.”
🔮 What’s Next?
Monza: High speeds, narrow escape routes — and now, a forecast of potential showers.
Haas: Locked into what Steiner calls “maximum rain suffering mode”.
Formula Odin fans: Buckled up for what might be the most unhinged mid-season bounceback arc in the league’s short but legendary history.
One thing’s clear: in Formula Odin, no one is safe from the storm — especially not Haas.
