Guenther Steiner set for motorsport comeback after his F1 exit
Guenther Steiner, former Haas and Red Bull chief, is poised to join a MotoGP team, signaling a surprising foray into the motorcycle racing series owned by Liberty Media, which also has F1 under its umbrella. After being replaced by Ayao Komatsu as Haas team principal for the 2024 F1 season, Steiner has been without a job. He is now close to making a comeback to motorsport with the Tech3 MotoGP team. Discussions are ongoing regarding Steiner’s potential involvement with the motorcycle team in various capacities, with his exact role yet to be defined by Tech3 boss Herve Poncharal. This move will bring Steiner back under the Liberty Media group after the company’s acquisition of MotoGP last year, with his vast experience and frank communication style resonating well with the Tech3 outfit as they strive to strengthen their MotoGP standing. Despite working as a TV pundit post-Haas, there appears to be no imminent return for Steiner to an F1 team, marking a new chapter in his illustrious F1 career that commenced with Jaguar in the early 2000s and included stints at Red Bull and, more prominently, Haas.
