Massive support for Steiner after dismissal at Haas: 'Wasn't up to him'
- GPblog.com
Günther Steiner has had to leave Haas. The team boss is being judged for his inferior performance in recent seasons and is being replaced by Ayao Komatsu. Online, Steiner is actually getting a lot of support. Indeed, most people agree that the management led by Gene Haas is to blame and not the beloved Steiner.
Says it all really... I doubt F1 will let him go that easily... https://t.co/xU3wwFzKsa

Always significant when the departing person is not quoted in the press release, tells you there’s friction, suspect we’ll hear more about this. The team hasn’t progressed in recent seasons, but hard to know exactly why without being on the inside. Good luck Guenther. And Haas https://t.co/dG2VeXiboG

Who other than Steiner could have endured so long treading water with his hands tied behind his back? The Haas philosophy worked a decade ago, but the sport changed and ownership decisions meant the team could not. Steiner’s perceived failure to my mind a result, not the cause.

Underwhelming trend. But there was low hanging fruit in F1 when Haas entered with a unique but limited model. No longer. Haas needs an overhaul that Gene doesn’t want to fund. Steiner not a perfect team boss by any means but isn’t to blame for this record. It goes deeper. https://t.co/zof5xQnuAM
