Recently departed Haas Formula 1 boss Guenther Steiner has not been given the opportunity to say goodbye to the team’s
Guenther Steiner, who had been with the Haas F1 team from the beginning, has left the team and has been replaced by Ayao Komatsu as the new team boss. The decision to let Steiner go was primarily motivated by the need to improve the team’s on-track performance. Haas F1 had reached fifth place in the Constructors’ standings in 2018, but their results have declined since then, with them finishing last in the championship last season. Steiner had become a popular figure in the sport due to his witty remarks and honesty on the Netflix Drive to Survive series. It is believed that the team owner, Gene Haas, was not happy with Steiner receiving most of the attention, and the team’s poor results last year may have also played a role in the decision. Steiner, who has other business interests, has not had a chance to bid farewell to the team yet.
