Haas is remaining silent on the topic of their driver line-up for the 2019 season. The team is yet to confirm either of their current drivers beyond the end of the season with both Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean amongst the drivers who's future is still up in the air as the season comes to its conclusion.
Although both drivers are still unconfirmed, it is believed that both will be remaining at the team. Rumours had suggested that Charles Leclerc could be replacing Grosjean however Ferrari showed their faith in the Monegasque driver and promoted him directly from Sauber to the Ferrari team.
Media in Denmark report that Magnussen has an option that will expire on October 1st in his contract that is up to the team to trigger, giving the Dane an extra year on his current deal with the team.
Asked if the team had any announcements in store for the Russian Grand Prix weekend, a team representitive didn't give anything away, commenting: "Nothing yet."
Magnussen was also keeping his cards close to his chest, saying back in Singapore that he was focused on the present rather than any future deals in F1.
"I'm just enjoying the best time I've had in Formula 1."
