Has there been a shake up at Haas?

[Jasandjules]

What a pity, he always seemed like a straight talker....

[Blib]

I read that Gunther's contract ran out and Haas chose not to renew it.

[robscot]

Sky F1 should be right in to hire him... would be great TV

[rallycross]

I know it’s not his Team but he effectively set the thing up so without him there I doubt they have much chance of improving and who would buy it if mr H decided to sell? It’s no use to Andretti motorsport other than the entry to F1 they junk the rest of it and start from scratch as they don’t need a Ferrari power train or a chassis from Dallara.

I really hope he ends up in WEC with a Hypercar team.

Worth reminding ourselves what GS thought of AD21: "Look, at the end of the day, both teams have won a world championship and good for them. Red Bull won the drivers' and Mercedes the constructors'. I'd take either of those. Mercedes didn't protest, so off we go. We move on."

There haven't been many truly interesting stories in this closed season, but this is by far the biggest. I just Googled GS's replacement, and it's obvious the articles have been freshly concocted, such is his impact on F1 so far.
Would Gene Haas really sell up? Could Andretti have done a deal? No doubt we'll find out more over the following weeks.

A little niave.


Worth reminding ourselves what many, many others thought of AD21 too... And still do [/incoming]

Gunther has quit Haas today.

He will be missed I think.

Completely zero reason now to support haas.
This isnt football where changing the manager gets the same players to perform.

he did not quit his contract expired and was not renewed

His contract had expired and Haas chose not to extend it, BBC Sport has learned.

Maybe Netflix will employ him.

Or Sky.

He could replace Crofty.

[Red9zero]

Steiner gone, but AD21

[Presuming Ed]

He comes across as a nice guy but you can’t say he was a success at Haas given their results. Vowles at Williams seems to be doing a far better job for example. Haas have been treading water for too long.

Can't have a thread on here without someone mentioning it

[Leithen]

On the face of it Steiner was the only interesting thing about HAAS.

Feel for Stefano. He must be praying that the team is sold. Bernie would have probably used more direct methods.

What's the gap going to be to the rest of the field? 2021 all over again?

True, but his budget was $2.50 and a bag of nuts, not sure what else he could have with the resources, I think Vowles has more.

I'm sure I read a few months ago that GS has a running legal dispute with GH because he was promised equity in the beginning. Not sure if this is related.

Liberty will probably approve Andretti now, so long as they hire Gunther on a 10 year TP contract!

[tele_lover]

And why didn't Haas hire Otmar??
