Ex-Marussia ace Max Chilton revealed he is in talks with the new American F1 team for 2016.
But the Reigate racer admitted he is a long shot for a drive at Haas F1.
Haas have held talks with American drivers, Froce India racer Nico Hulkenberg and are thought to be considering giving at least one seat in a contra-deal with engine suppliers Ferrari.
That would put Esteban Gutierrez and Jean-Eric Vergne in the frame as well.
And given the link Ferrari are thought to be pushing for an announcement at the up-coming Italian Grand Prix.
After two seasons at Marussia Chilton is now racing in America and contested Le Mans with Nissan.
A deal with Haas would mean a return home of sorts.
The American racing operation is run out of the old Marussia factory at Banbury.
“I'd love the chance but I have a strong feeling that it is going to be one young Ferrari driver, because it is hugely a Ferrari project - they have Ferrari engines and are using their wind tunnel - and then I hear they want an experienced driver."
"I like to think I am experienced, but if they want a really experienced driver I think there are only a certain number of drivers on that grid.
“So I think it will be Hulkenberg. I can't see Jenson going there, but I can't see many other experienced drivers that are free for next year.
“So I'd like to think I have a chance, but it is probably not going to happen."
