Steiner reveals near-miss signing of F1 driver now 'in a hole'

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


It was a few years ago but Guenther Steiner felt this driver could propel Haas forward when he was boss at the time.

Guenther Steiner disclosed that he nearly signed Sergio Perez when the latter was with Sahara Force India, during a period when Haas was performing strongly. Despite Perez’s recent struggles at Red Bull, he will continue as Max Verstappen’s teammate this season. Steiner expressed surprise at Red Bull’s decision to retain Perez after the summer break, considering his inconsistent performance. He mentioned receiving messages from Christian Horner and Helmut Marko indicating a need for changes, but emphasized that he had no say in the decision. Steiner believes that Perez, despite his current difficulties, is a talented driver and a good person, recalling that he had tried to sign him for Haas in the past. Ultimately, Steiner sees Perez as a solid driver with positive qualities, even though he may not be a race winner or a championship contender at this stage.
