via PlanetF1 Guenther Steiner ‘stayed two years too long’ in fresh Gene Haas criticism Guenther Steiner, the former team principal of Haas F1, has expressed concerns about the team's direction under owner Gene Haas, suggesting that Haas may have lost interest in Formula 1. Steiner, who was with the team since its inception in 2016, noted that the team has struggled to replicate its early success, finishing at the bottom of the standings on two occasions since then. After being replaced by Ayao Komatsu, Steiner reflected on his tenure, stating he should have left the team earlier due to differing visions for its future.
Despite the challenges faced by Haas, Steiner's departure marks a significant change for the team as it attempts to improve its performance in the Constructors' Championship. Currently sitting in seventh place, Haas is 40 points behind competitors Racing Bulls and Alpine. Steiner has since transitioned to motorcycle racing, joining a consortium that acquired the Red Bull KTM Tech3 MotoGP team. PlanetF1 Tue 25 Aug · 14:09 UTC Wikimedia Commons · Liauzh · CC BY-SA 4.0
Haas boss on Bearman: 'I'm sure he will excel' Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has expressed high hopes for British driver Oliver Bearman, emphasizing his potential and maturity as a young racer. Bearman has shown impressive performances, including a fourth-place finish in Mexico and a fifth in China, solidifying his status as a promising talent in Formula 1. Komatsu believes Bearman could excel further if he has a competitive car to challenge for podiums consistently.
Despite being the smallest team on the grid, Haas has managed to hold its own, currently sitting seventh in the standings. Komatsu acknowledged the challenges posed by limited funding for upgrades but praised the team's ability to produce a reliable and competitive car. He highlighted Bearman's positive attitude and leadership qualities, especially during difficult race situations, indicating a bright future for the young driver. espn.com Tue 25 Aug · 11:54 UTC via f1oversteer.com Fred Vasseur has now hatched a plan to turn Haas into Ferrari's version of Racing Bulls Ferrari is looking to deepen its partnership with Haas by supporting Rafael Camara, a driver from its academy, for a potential seat in 2027. Team principal Fred Vasseur has emphasized the financial and training support provided to Camara, aiming to strengthen the ties between the two teams. With Esteban Ocon's future uncertain, Camara is seen as a strong candidate to replace him at Haas, which would further solidify Ferrari's influence in the team.
However, McLaren is also vying for a seat at Haas for their reserve driver, Leonardo Fornaroli, creating competition for Camara. The situation is complicated by the interests of Toyota, Haas' technical partner, which may affect the final decision on who secures the seat. As it stands, Camara is the favorite, but McLaren's aggressive push for Fornaroli could change the dynamics. f1oversteer.com Mon 24 Aug · 19:00 UTC via thejudge13.com The $10 Billion Cadillac F1 Deal Raising New Questions About Mark Walter The article discusses the scrutiny surrounding Cadillac Formula 1's financial backing, particularly involving TWG Global, Mubadala Capital, and Palantir Technologies.
