Guenther Steiner has spoken publicly for the first time since it was announced that he and the Haas F1 Team had parted ways with immediate effect, revealing more of the background to the news, sharing his message for the squad’s employees and pondering his own future plans.
The problem with Haas has never been Guenther, it’s always been Gene. Mfer still believes he can run a team as a privateer in 2024. Buy a chassis, buy an engine and show up on the grid, like in nascar or Indy.
While smaller teams struggled to stay alive, big players made massive investments in manufacturing and testing facilities before the budget cap came into effect. Meanwhile Haas still has zero manufacturing capabilities. They’re not a manufacturer. They’re an aero designer.
