Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner believes that Haas needs to change its model in order to compete effectively against the other Formula 1 teams. He acknowledges that the team’s poor results last year led to his replacement, but argues that Formula 1 has evolved in a way that requires further investment to keep up with rivals. Steiner suggests that the budget cap is no longer enough and that Haas needs to invest in infrastructure to reduce operating expenses. He believes that the team should follow the model of other teams in terms of team structure and investment. Despite the challenges, Steiner praises the employees at Haas for their achievements, particularly reaching Q3 several times last year.
