Either Saxo jumped ship with Grosjean from Lotus to Haas, or Sorensen will be announced at Haas.

Saxo wasn't in the Renault car, that's for sure

Haas is the title sponsor of their own team, Gene Haas is using the F1 team to promote Haas Automation,
a company that manufactures CNC machines

well yeah, because he used images of the helmets from certain years for the vote, will obviously be reproduced on an up to date helmet minus those logos
