Haas is not planning to make a decision on its driver line-up for 2017 until the end of the European season in September.The all-new American team has experienced a rollercoaster debut year in F1, with Romain Grosjean scoring all of the teams 28 points while Esteban Gutierrezs car has been plagued by reliability issues. Grosjeans contract is believed to extend into 2017, but Gutierrezs position at the team next year is less clear.Team principal Guenther Steiner says no discussions about the 2017 line-up will begin until after the Italian Grand Prix.Nothing has been decided and we havent even talked about it, he said. Ive spoken specifically with Gene [Haas], and weve said were not talking about drivers or what we are doing until the European season is over.Steiner is wary that speculation about driver contracts could take the teams focus away from its push for performance.Its a distraction. In the end we know what everybody can do, but we need to see a little bit more, and where we want to be. We need to see also as a team what we want to achieve next year. There is so much that is not clear about where we are.But as soon as the European season is over we need to start to make decisions, because we need to get things moving. You dont just call somebody up and say something, there are negotiations and all this.We actively do not want to talk about drivers until the European season ends because we would just get opinions out there that people would misinterpret.Dallas Mavericks Jerseys .

But on diversity, nobody in this company has worked harder, done more and resourced it better than me.I founded [NASCARs] diversity council. I fought for every single thing that makes sense because thats my core belief: Diversity is very, very important. I talk about it frequently. And my efforts there should never be challenged no matter what my political view. Thats a ridiculous thing to do.With all but two of the Chase for the Sprint Cup race television ratings down at least 10 percent, the track public-operating companies reporting admission revenue down 9 percent after the Daytona 500 and potentially seven of NASCARs charters (its version of franchises) changing hands as teams still have trouble finding sponsorship, France said the sport is in a better position than those numbers indicate.We are still very pleased with our position in sports, France said. The audience isnt going away at all. Its sliding to different places, consuming in different wways.dddddddddddd ... Our digital consumption is off the charts.Multicar teams Richard Petty Motorsports, Roush Fenway Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing are among well-established teams that are still seeking significant sponsorship to field one of their cars in 2017 that they fielded in 2016.You have some teams that for whatever the reasons cant compete at such a high level and they have some problems, and thats throughout history, France said. Its not abnormal at all.The other hurdle for NASCAR this year has been finding a replacement for Sprint, which will leave this year after 13 seasons of sponsoring the sport. NASCAR has not announced a new sponsor. Industry insiders have indicated Monster Energy is the leading candidate. Monster Energy sports marketing director Mitch Covington said last week he would not respond to rumors.Its taken a little longer than I thought, France said. But its also a big agreement, and its an important agreement. Its not just dollars and cents. Its a fit for us. ... Im confident were going to end up in a very good spot.France also said that NASCAR will look at rewarding the regular-season champion and that discussions continue to bring additional manufacturers into the sport.Would I like to have everything perfect? Of course I would, France said. Thats sports and thats a competitive business, and the model is changing a little bit, too. ... Were pleased with the health of the sport. ' ' '
