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.
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.
No surprises there tbh.
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.

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.
