Former F1 boss Guenther Steiner has made a stunning comeback to the racing world by leading a consortium in the acquisition of a MotoGP team.
Steiner, who previously served as Haas team principal until 2023, was unexpectedly replaced ahead of the 2024 season after a challenging year in 2023 where Haas finished last in the constructors’ standings.
The popular Steiner, known for his charismatic personality, revealed he was let go over the phone while shopping and has since transitioned to roles as an F1 pundit on various podcasts.
Now, at 60 years old, Steiner has assumed the position of CEO at MotoGP team Tech3, with his partner Richard Coleman taking over as team principal starting next season.
In an official statement, Steiner expressed excitement about the opportunity at Tech3 and the chance to contribute to MotoGP’s growth by leveraging the team’s potential and legacy.
Steiner’s transition to MotoGP marks a new chapter for him post-F1, where he gained fame not only as a team principal but also as a beloved personality on Netflix’s Drive to Survive series and various media platforms.
