Every place in the F1 constructors’ championship𒊎 is♐ worth a fortune to the teams.

At the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sunday, one midfield tea🌸m made a huge🙈 leap which could earn them an extra eight-figure pay-day.

Haas overtook Alpine for sixth in the constructors’ championship.

Each place is worth approximately $10 million, meꦗaning Haas’ one-point adv🦋antage over Alpine is a big deal.

They have two rounds remaining in the 2024 𝔉season to defend their position and snare the extra money.

Haas were seven✅th, and three points behind Alpine, when they lined up on the Vegas starting grid.

But Pierre Gasly’s DNF, having qualified in third, was unexpected 🃏and very costl💙y for Alpine.

Gasly had an en♉gine problem on Lap 15 which forced his early retirement, meaning a potential points finish fizzled away.

Teammate Esteban Ocon could only🐷 manage 17th leaving Ha꧅as to out-score them.

Nico Hulkenberg, one of F1’s overachievers this season, finished eighth which ෴could be the moment to earn his emplo𓄧yers the extra $10m.

Haas teammate Kevin Magnussen was 12th.

Last year Haasꦰ finished bottom of the constructors🌠’ but can now fight tooth and nail to keep Alpine, RB, Williams and Sauber behind them.
