Axed F1 team boss on running for FIA president

Guenther Steiner, the former team principal of Haas F1, has dismissed the idea of running for FIA president, stating he is content not to pursue that role. Despite his popularity and extensive experience in motorsport, he believes the current president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, will remain in power for a long time, especially after the FIA removed term limits for the presidency. Steiner's comments came during an appearance on the Up to Speed podcast, where he discussed his career and future prospects in motorsport.

In addition to his time in F1, Steiner has ventured into MotoGP, acquiring the Red Bull KTM Tech3 team in 2025. He humorously noted that if he were to become FIA president, his first act would be to eliminate the ban on swearing, reflecting his candid personality that has resonated with fans through the Drive to Survive series.
