Just a story based on the same tweet..
However, if it was a hacked tweet I'd expect Haas to have more to say than this...Autosport said:
A Haas spokesman declined to comment when asked to confirm whether the team's title sponsor has attempted to pull out of its deal.

If it's fake, or they suspect it is - HAAS don't have to make a knee jerk reaction. Far better to get some intelligence on whatever has happened and work out the best response. Whatever the truth HAAS won't look bad as a result of this - notwithstanding their questionable choice of sponsor in the first place.

You mean a professional, considered response!
Precisely. In any case, they will be asked about it tomorrow at the latest, and are obliged to make comment to Sky during pre-session interviews etc.Edited by TheDeuce on Thursday 11th July 08:03
If Haas does have the money from them in their pocket or firm guarantee they will get agreed money then I don’t see how it is egg on their face.
Whatever the back story or goal of rich energy, if Haas have their money and they now walk off, it doesn’t really matter.
It has been odd from the start, but hopefully Haas have what they want from it and move on.

Just thought on the way in to work, can the FIA or Liberty block F1 team's from specific sponsors or ban specific sponsors from getting involved in F1? Because we've had Moneytron, we've had Prince Malik and now this Storey chancer. Surely the last of these have done more to bring the sport in to disrepute than the previous two?

I'm not sure he's eclipsed Van Rossems 5 year sentence for fraud or Andrea Sassetti getting arrested in the Spa paddock.Yet.

Well, that makes sense.While I'm not exactly familiar with the terms of F1 sponsorship contracts, I'd be amazed if it included a performance clause allowing the title sponsor to terminate at any point in the season.

I quite like the first reply: "Ahhhh, so nobody explained to William Storey that posting a pissy tweet doesn't count as a legal termination of a contract."Also this one: "Translation: We're currently in the process of terminating our contract with @rich_energy but Storey had a hissyfit and posted a "You're not breaking up with me, I'm breaking up with you!!!!11111oneoneone" Also, we're still waiting on our money."

If it did I imagine the Williams would look rather plain at the moment! While I'm not exactly familiar with the terms of F1 sponsorship contracts, I'd be amazed if it included a performance clause allowing the title sponsor to terminate at any point in the season.
Didn't Haas say that the Rich energy money sponsorhip money was in some kind of escrow account or that they had bank guarantees that the monies would be paid?
If I was Haas though i'd tell them to f
k off and thenn go to Whyte and offer to stick their logo on the Halo where Rich Energies knicked logo went. I'd then remove all references too RICH and replace it with stE.
Woudl love to see Whyte get there logos on though,

Do we think that Storey is behind these tweets?
If so he has pulled off the impossible in actually being even more stupid than he looks.
From the Motorsport.com link that thegreenhell posted:If so he has pulled off the impossible in actually being even more stupid than he looks.
"Sources have told Motorsport.com that the tweet was either written by or authorised by CEO William Storey without the knowledge of Rich's investors after an apparent difference of opinion."
