Oh no!! Guenther is gone!!

Steiner out of Haas as Komatsu takes F1 team principal role

www.autosport.com

He's being replaced by current Director of Engineering Ayao Komatsu. This comes on the back of yesterday's announcement that Simone Resta was also departing Haas.

I wonder if Andretti is looking for a Team Principal...?

 

[docjames]

Biggest news of the 24 season so far - Guenther is out. Will be interesting if a full story ever comes out, and whether there is more to it than just “underperformance” - I dont think GS was the issue for Haas.

Re: dates, alternate weekends Aus-China-Japan - for team members and carbon usaeg, this will mean either - stay in AsiaPac for upwards of 5 weeks straight. OR. Jet back and forth across time zones. Surely there’s an argument for a triple header.

Good to see Permane back in the sport. Felt he was shafted by Renault/Alpine.

Permane set for F1 return with rebranded AlphaTauri

Need to delete Guenther Steiner's name in your next update

Need to delete Guenther Steiner's name in your next update

How could I miss that?? Fixed now.

Poor Guenther...

 

[cosi]

Poor Guenther...

Agree

 

[DejaBrew]

Could this be the end of the road for Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya? I'm not personally convinced by the decision to bring on (yet) another street circuit at the expense of a classic track and a layout that that still challenges modern F1 machinery.

“Visa Cash App RB” you say?

 

[moa999]

Visa and Cash App are separate sponsors.

So not much difference to Stake and Kick at Sauber.. although reportedly the team will use Stake F1 Team as the primary name.. Kick Sauber is the chassis.

Sauber: “Hey everyone, we‘ve figured out how to give ourselves the worst team name in F1!”
