I’m not surprised about them keeping both in the end, but I’m a bit surprised how early it was announced. I would’ve expected them to explore possible options a bit longer, especially from the point of view of pairing Hülkenberg with a young driver. Seems like they prefer to stick with the safe choice.
The only alternative would be to take on a youth academy driver from someone else for extra money or cheaper parts. But considering how expensive Mick ended up being for them, I guess Haas is vary of that option.
No surprises there tbh.

This is very true. I also didn’t expect them to announce it this early… but as I mentioned in another comment “never change a winning team”.
But to all fairness, they a both doing great. As you mentioned, I also think they prefer more experienced drivers… and who is left in this category?
Gene was at the last or second-to-last racing weekend and they clearly signed back then.
Yeh, not sure who they could get that would be an upgrade, Bottas or Albon? Neither are likely to move there I would think?

My thoughts exactly, Hulk and KMag perform well or well enough to keep them - never change a “winning” team.
And money wise they are also doing quite ok with the MoneyGram deal, if I’m not mistaken.
