Guenther Steiner’s Departure from Haas Team Principal Role”

Guenther Steiner, the long-serving Team Principal of Haas F1 Team, has left his role with immediate effect. Ayao Komatsu, the Director of Engineering, has been promoted to replace him.

Steiner led the team since its entry into Formula 1 in 2016. Known for his role in Netflix’s Drive To Survive series, he guided the team to notable achievements, including points on debut, a maiden pole position, and a fifth-placed finish in the constructors’ championship in 2018. However, the team faced challenges in the previous season, finishing last in the championship.

After discussions between Steiner and team owner Gene Haas, it was decided that Steiner would leave the organization immediately. Ayao Komatsu, with over 20 years of experience in Formula 1, will take over as Team Principal. Komatsu, who has been with Haas since 2016, starting as Chief Race Engineer, is now responsible for the team’s overall strategy and on-track performance.

In an effort to improve performance, Haas plans to recruit a Chief Operating Officer for non-competition matters. Gene Haas emphasized the need for consistency in delivering results and efficient resource utilization. He expressed gratitude to Steiner and looks forward to working with Komatsu to compete properly in Formula 1.

Komatsu, excited about his new role, aims to lead the team to improved on-track performances. He acknowledges the need for competitiveness and plans to leverage support from partners like MoneyGram to achieve better results.

In conclusion, Steiner’s departure marks a significant change for Haas F1 Team, and Komatsu’s promotion signifies the team’s commitment to addressing challenges and competing at the highest level in Formula 1.
