F1 is a brutal sport, both on track and off. At the end of the day, it's all about results. Given the money involved, team principals and investors have little patience for losing year after year. If he was as popular with sponsors as he is with fans, he would have brought the necessary additional funding to invest in the team. I predict he'll become a race broadcaster or at most a PR director somewhere.

Hmmmm Not sure Gunter is the one hey! Maybe with alpine he could get them from being one of the most disliked team to at least likeable but highly unlikely

Its pretty obvious HAAS has questsionable ethics. He took on Nakita Mazepin when he needed the $ to survive, then fired him and refused to refund the sponsorship money. Basically fraud. The they get new sponsors based on Gunthers drive to survive stardom and now he fires Gunther so another sponsor is shafted. I would not give a dime to sponsor such a team.

Gunther's a great guy, but like all owners, Haas wants to win. We'll see if this change brings better results. Gunther would be a natural commentator/presenter for Sky's F1 coverage, unless or until he lands elsewhere

I've noticed a culture change in F1. I hope Günther has a good job up his sleeve, something to keep the Euro atmosphere at the fore. While it's great that F1 has moved into the USA, I'm not that keen that disregard for "people" is such a good thing. Günther lives in North Carolina, so I wonder whether he'll do much less travelling and work within the USA mostly???

I've worked for people like Gene Haas. It's always a no win situation.

As a sponsor in motor sport in America we are grateful for Gene who also is mildly involved in the NHRA. I’m also a “new” fan of F1 and Steiner….however…Gene has been bludgeoned over this move and from a performance standpoint many other team owners would have made the same choice. It’s difficult to raise sponsorship dollars when you never give an ROI on your substantial investment.

So.... all of you are ok with the teams underperformance? I know I'm not. I like the guy and i'm sure his post Haas future will be just fine. The more I think about it, it's a cap move.

Steiner for F1 race director.

Get in there Goonta!

Audi Drivers: Sainz (Senior would be helpfull in the contact) K-Mag (9 times Le Mans winner and also a Dane, Tom K would be helpfull in that contact) And Binotti and Steiner (VERY good friends) as joined principals... (Common in Germany to have 2 bosses) Maybe even Tom K himself, as some kind of an adviser on the side... LOT OF KNOWLEDGE and experience in those 4(5) persons... And what a dream team!

Gunter is great, someone needs to bring him back to F1.

Guenther is a native of South Tyrol so he is Austrian in character and mannerisms. Please don't confuse nationality with which passports he uses.

Would love for Steiner to stay in F1 but Audi seems like they would be a "stiff" team for such a big character, whereas he could fit right in with Alpine maybe its me stereotyping german vs french

1:08 "The Italian"? Since when is the most German man in the world Italian? lol

I'm not a fan of the guy. But I hope he ends up at Ferrari someday. I think his personality would work with a team that actually has the ability to win.

Make him a presenter, would be interesting

red bull got an opening :)

Sauber needs some leadership and Steiner would be an ideal personality for that.

it just occurred to me that this is perhaps Alpine's one and only chance to grab both him and Mattia Binotto, Guenther as team principal, Binotto as CTO..but that's wishful thinking..

He keeps saying the team wouldn't have existed without Gunther. I like Gunther, but he would not have had a team without Haas. No money, no team. I saw an earlier report that they were just under the cost cap, so I am not sure where all the "He didn't spend enough" crap comes from if that is true. Gunther was handed an F1 team and a budget and it was his job to do something with it. I'm sure Gene has a pretty busy schedule with his businesses and other teams. Amazing how everyone was so willing to roll the bus over him. They have done nothing but get worse every year. Who else is to blame? Gene should have given him more money? For what? I thought there was a cost cap in formula 1... I mean really. Here Gunther, here is a boat load of cash, a facility, a salary, go play and see what you can do. That would be a dream to most anyone who has no money to do it themselves...and Haas has to take crap from people who haven't done a damn thing compared to what he has done in life? I don't know much about Haas, and don't really watch any Nascar, so he is just a guy who gave someone with no means to start a team, the means to do so and he is made out to be some terrible person.

@@notofthisgod32 so true

Gene Haas always seemed uninterested, and out of touch. Has he even been to ten races since starting the team? And the money issues weren't about the cap on spending, but the sheer lack of it. On DTS, how many times did Geunter have to call Gene after a race to basically say; "We ran your shit cars, with your shit R&D, and both our rookie drivers crashed, so.... We need more money from you.". That's no way to run any kind of business. And it's difficult to believe that Gene is suddenly concerned about results, I think Geunter finally pushed enough of Gene's buttons. Even in NASCAR, Haas racing wasn't doing much until Tony Stewart bought into it. If F1 & FIA can force Haas to sell, I think they should, and let the legendary Andretti name back into ranks!

There is literally no new information in this video.

Why is gunter referred to as the Italian?? He's German??

I love this guy and wish him the best in the future but please let's be real here. The team has been underperforming for years and has lacked both pace and innovation and something had to be done. I don't see things getting better anytime soon but Haas has to make an effort to get better and not keep doing things the same and expecting different results. I'm sure Haas spoke with Ayao and he gave him the confidence to continue with a new direction which will hopefully deliver better results. I know he was a fan favorite and I loved this guy too but other teams did the same thing from lack of results, (see Ferrari and Mclaren) it's the nature of this sport, get results or your out.

what a hit job on Gene Haas who in fact started the F1 team . Guenter might have a knocking off a staff member for example. You dont know and I dont know but stop paiting him as Gods gift to F1, He gained fame because he swore a lot.

I though he was Austrian?

He's Italian from near the very border with Austria , that's why his accent sounds similar to an Austrian but Italian well it does to me but I'm English.

I’m starting to think that Gunther was part of Haas’ issue of riding in the back the past few years. We can’t be shocked that this has happened can we? He’s definitely a character and will end up with another team, maybe not as principal. I wish him luck.

Sentiment & popularity doesn't win races. Thank goodness you're not in charge of an F1 team. They'd never finish a race

What exactly did Steiner do for the team? Eight loosing years? He may be a nice and popular guy, but that doesn't win races.

No, Andretti has a lot more money than Haas!

It's interesting to note that Guenther became popular by making unintelligent comments on Netflix... Christian Horner fired him back in 2008 because of his lack of competence as a technical director. Also, the way he handled Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher is absolutely unacceptable. I don't see why a team could be interested in him just because he was popular on Netflix; this has nothing to do with F1.
