Guenther Steiner, the former Haas team principal, expressed surprise at his departure and felt disappointed that he couldn’t say goodbye to many team members in person. He believes that Gene Haas should consider greater investment in order to be competitive in Formula 1’s cost cap era. While Steiner understands that Haas has the authority to make decisions, he questions the logic behind his replacement at this point. Steiner wasn’t able to personally thank the team members due to the sudden nature of his departure, but he still appreciates their hard work. He also suggests that the new team principal, Ayao Komatsu, will require support in terms of capital expenditure to keep up with other teams’ investments in the future.
