Steiner: Some owners "don’t understand" new manager bounce impossible in F1
Guenther Steiner’s departure from Haas ahead of the 2024 season makes Aston Martin’s Mike Krack the third longest-serving F1 team principal. This comes after Krack replaced Otmar Szafnauer at the end of the 2021 season. There have been several leadership changes in other teams, including Alpine, Ferrari, Williams, and AlphaTauri. McLaren and Sauber’s changes are interconnected, as Andreas Seidl joined Sauber in preparation for its rebranding as Audi in 2026. The turnover rate of team bosses in F1 has increased in recent years, possibly due to the immediate need for results. However, Steiner believes that changing team managers does not have the same impact as it does in football due to the long development process of F1 cars.
