Yes Guenther Steiner out and the 'Japanese Ayao Komatsu in ...

The situation can be a signal from HONDA for HAAS in 2026 !

Will miss the funny Guenther Steiner and his famous words like : F@cking Idiots and Wankers .
Think , he didn't see it coming...

Damn ! I really liked Guenther Steiner , because he was completely otherwise..

Hopefully they make him his own broadcast like they did the kiddo version the last race. They can call it the Don't Fuck Smash my Door version and we get to hear him unfiltered and uncensored.

The Japanese Ayao Komatsu has more than 20 years of knowledge as an F1 engineer .

It will be pleasure for Komatsu to see in 2026 a HONDA PU in his HAAS cars .

I'm not sure (yet)! but there's a chance that Red Bull will/may regret it to break the bridges with HONDA.
The 2026 FORD PU for Red Bull ?

The latest test runs on the bench are outstanding and very promising but on the track It's always completely otherwise .
And in the last 3 seasons , It's right there where the HONDA PU is shining with 3 World Titles in a row !
MAX has said : I really don't like to see the HONDA PU go in 2026 and that's what I think as well !

Heavy pigs in 2026 with huge batteries , who will love to race with a Frankenstein car ?
If MAX doesn't likes it in 2026 , he will be gone ...

This my friend. I'm sad to see Guenther go also but alas Gene Haas looking to the future.

Do you remember the old Speed crew before the ESPN takeover? David Hobbs and Steve Matchett, now that was ENTERTAINMENT!!!! It took me YEARS getting used to the Sky crew. I was a very unhappy camper 😠

You left out Bob Varsha who kept Hobbs and Matchett in line. Can't stand Leigh Diffey.
Murray Walker with James Hunt was good fun.
Always liked Will Buxton
Going to miss Johnny Herbert and Paul di Resta. Stupid SkySports

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out for Gene. Sounds like Guenther wanted more investment and Gene didn't want to give it. I don't pretend to know the internal politics in the Haas team, but Guenther has long been asking for better support. I believe they're at the cost cap, so I'm guessing it's more in capital expenditures, to get better facilities than what Haas already has?

Gunther to Andretti?!? Wouldn't that be a plot twist.

I live 20 Minutes from the Haas NA manufacturing facility. Gene doesn't give 2 shits about his F1 program. He should just sell out to Andretti, problem solved.
