My word would be the reporter was "flailing".

I hate reporters who look for ghosts where there aren't any. Steiner gave an answer that essentially closes the chapter - It is Gene Hass' team, he can do with it as he sees fit. Any circumstances leading up to this becomes irrelevant. Steiners co tract was simply not extended. Why try force to get sleeze or criticism from Günther ?? This is cheap reporting from Sky Sports !!!

He’s smart enough not to burn his bridges.

@@officialWWM Steiner yes, indeed. For me it is the reporter who's behaviour is detestable. I am watching another interview with Crofty (also Sky Sports) and here the discussion is more productive and not seeking smack !!

Anger sells.

Legend. F1 need more like Guenther. A big loss for F1 and also Haas.

A terrible people manager

@@BianchiLuke87 A great people manager, just trying to manage terrible people.

@@advanceddarkness3A leaders job is to make “terrible people” into a team of exceptional people. Give your people the training, the tools, the target and most importantly the trust and get out of their way.

Also one that could not get HAAS to perform better.. That's the only thing that really counts in a very competitive environment like F1, how you perform with the team, and that was not good for Guenther unfortunately..

its not about fans though he has barely produced a good season other than the first half of 2023 and 2017-18 honestly a suprise he stayed that long.

Apparently Haas doesnt care. All they wanted is the publicity. IMO, they should just leave F1. They're worthless to begin with.

@Venus-jb6el true, but I bought Haas merch solely cause of Guenther

@@Venus-jb6el what was he supposed to do? gene won't invest.

No results = go home

What happened?? HE WAS NOT FIRED! His contract ended. He had NOTHIG to complain about.

@@nielgregory108 Gene Haas is that you? hehe

@@nielgregory108 : LOL, He was fired, even he says he was fired.

He basically founded the team, it's his baby. He did a good job with the amount of resources that he had at his disposal. Gene Haas is a joke.

@@LemtemPoktui : Gene Haas is soooo much smarter than you.

The reporter was just doing his job. He asked questions most people are wondering about. Steiner gave his response and then the reporter moved onto his next quedtion. Why are people so easily offended when a reporter asks tough question to the main subject straight to his face? I felt Slater did this with respect too. No issue here for me.

​@@tarnjeetjohal4219Steiner always approven this right.

Whay wouldn't he be??? HE WAS NOT FIRED! His contract ended. He had NOTHIG to complain about.

​@@tarnjeetjohal4219 You're right that the reporter was just doing his job and it's unfair to suggest he was anything less than respectful in doing so but conversely, I think also unfair to suggest anyone took offense simply because they framed it more negatively than you or I would have.

Both handled the interview really well.

Bloody journalist, he kept at it with those “negative” ass questions, dealt with it like a true professional

thats what craig slater always does.

Gunther… Classy as ever.

Well, it's not good business to speak badly of your early employers. Steiner knows this. Potential new employers are looking at how he behaves after being sacked just in case they will sack him as well.

Well said❤️

Maybe he is funny and a great guy, but many people are like that but terrible for the job that they must really do. I don't say that other TP have done it better than him in recent years but that team didn't accomplished something from their start and neither their future or perspective is looking bright. This change should have been come couple of years ago...

Absolutely.... Guenter Steiner is one of the best man we like to hear, a strong professional, that will be desired for many teams. Professional and Kind, a good comunicator and ....a muche better Team will want him. I desire the BEST for him...and Gene is just an Idiot without respect for the work and friendy relation that Guenter allways had with the team. The way he denied Gunter to say goodbye to theyr Team,,is a huge lack of respect and decency to a Team that worked with Guenter and LIKED Him. Gene Hass has NOT this kind of respect from the Team. WE Want You Guenter....Hope to see you soon back. As for Gene Hass...he can go away and he will not be remember after that.

Glue there was the face of Hass. Now I almost wish for an Andretti buyout and Guenther return

What does that mean? His team literally finished last… it’s hilarious that people rate someone just for memes lol

@@blizzard6741 It means, how you conduct yourself at the low points is very telling. It's easy to be nice and respectful while your employed. He could have down talked anyone. It has nothing to do with memes and everything to do with integrity. Perhaps you wouldn't understand.

@@blizzard6741 what do you expect if u dont invest any money. They only got one update in Austin last year and thats it.

​@@brianswille He wouldn't understand

I even disagree with Binotto sacking, seems they are draining the swamp for USA F1 , which is money and not the love of the sport! commercialization is the death of F1. It has attracted fans because it is untainted , homogenise it and see it fall into obscurity.

We found a Netflix fan. lol 😂

I’d love to see him return in F1 management, he has a common sense people first management style. Just what F1 needs.

@@BobSmith-uu5kj You don't need to be a netflix fan to see he's a solid guy and good personality.

Maybe he's a great character but not a good boss, cmon dude

@@Arthur-jx8bm They mean because he wasn't a good boss.

I reckon he'll be in charge of another team before the next season.

​@@emjem99i belive he could be coaching with Williams or Alfa Romeo STAKE F1 Team.

@@emjem99 Andretti cadillac will join as either new entrants or buy haas out by 27’’.guenther most likely takes the lead.

For me Zak Brown is best team leader in last few seasons but I agree Guenther is the person everybody will miss. One of the coolest person in F1 not only in Haas Team his whole life is F1 and this decision is loss for sport and for enterteinment because sport is business but sport events are enterteinment for people.

@@emjem99 I vote Ferrari

Toto Wolff also is a true gentleman like Steiner.

@@purwantiallan5089 : Toto is ruthless.

Steiner should try coaching an IndyCar team like Chip Ganassi Racing.

Except for Mick lol

hearing him and hearing about gene haas i think maybe much of his acting towards Mick could have come from Gene Haas@@CCA2020

Badmouthing his former boss is one way to ensure no team would touch him. If he wants another job in F1, the correct approach is to be positive about his former team, and his former owner.

bro, the "boss" has no manners and respect for his workers, what guenther said was very correct, he is way more of a leader than gene haas will ever be@@vandalsgarage

Steiner would be a good fit for Andretti I reckon, and they seem far more serious and willing to invest into the sport than Haas.

How many points they are for having a fanbase? How much money the got from it?

@@TomislawBachleda did u watch the video?

@@TomislawBachleda you really think gene haas is going to magically give the team more money to become competitive now? What is the ratio of fans to horsepower? HInt: he's not

Yes but this is Formula 1, not a fan contest...

Oh he probably has several things to say, but won’t say them publicly. But you’re still right

The guy has too much experience and influence , not to be picked up by another F1 team.

​@@alimantado373he couldn't deliver results at Haas, he might find himself being part of marketing for Alpha Tauri to get sponsors, but Haas only ever had a 50 dollar budget

@@dogswifty7800 FR! 👍

Just goes to show how well he understood the assignment at Haas. There's nothing marketable/ remarkable there so he made a caricature of himself as the most "popular product". There's been so many challenger teams that failed in the last decades, Haas would have gone that way a while back if not for him. What's Gene gonna do to make his team relevant now? 😂

Agree

He will go to alpine

​@@halomultiplayermoments3651nope. Maybe to the worst F1 teams between AlphaTauri or Alfa Romeo STAKE F1 TEAM.

Worst reporter in F1 . A clown 🤡 . Well done G.S

I seriously hope so, he's a paddock favorite and such a class act.

Where were they going with him? Qualifying well and disappearing in the race has been a Haas trademark practically since the Rich energy saga. Gene is a great character, he did a great job starting the team, but never took it better than the highs of their 2nd or 3rd season. Only thing wrong here, is the way this was handled.

​@@sloppynyusziThe team desperately needs/needed investment and in a sport like F1 without investment you're going nowhere... fast! This was more than just a TP issue

"Hass would be nowhere" 🙄🥱😆 Just remind everyone again precisely where are Haas right now...!?! 😉

@@sloppynyuszi you mean guenther?

@@_Ben4810twat

this just shows how big of an impact he has on ppl!

That is their business model, trying to maximise a story that is not there. What the interview wanted was his Netflix persona, well done guenter

If only the rest of the teams would stop gatekeeping

Same pile, new face.

Well said, I'll go with that theory

😉👍

@@TMWThe’s saying haas should sell. The other teams are okay with that I believe

I hope not

​@@Agnischatzi1why so?

as FIA director lol hahah

​@@Wouter-van-der-MolenI was about to say the same thing lol

SkyF1 should get him or he could be a race engineer, I cant imagine any team would want him besides that

true it will be much better :D

An IMSA or Indy team.

Zak Brown would be proud of that.

HE WAS NOT FIRED! His contract ended. He had NOTHIG to complain about.

@@nielgregory108 He did not complain! But if I were him I would have. He was not even allowed to say goodbye to his staff.

@@nielgregory108 : Gunthers says he was fired.

That'd be peanuts for him, doubt sky can afford him.

Guenther should have the job of that interviewer.

He did a great job in one of the NASCAR races last year

I reckon he will end up at Stake for the next two years, maybe even Audi for 1 or 2

​@@tyrant1503or in 2027, we could see Steiner move to Red Bull Ford.

Ferrari🤔 Haas🤝Ferrari

@@Taco_King00 Ferrari always has a problem with principals, maybe someone like Guenther would finally make the team have any good results at all, perhaps even win a championship. If he did what he did in Haas, I reckon he can do much better in a team with actual cash to spend such as Ferrari.

@@TheLuizSouza BRO he was 10 years last spot what you dreaming of xdd

max verstappen better

😅me too i will miss him and i am also a mersades fan

Mishandle? To mishandle funds you have to have funds. Gene is cheap.

@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 I totally get that teams are having to cut costs and rethink their budgets but how Gene thinks they're going to come any higher than last is wild

@@imchristinac Agreed. He needs to sell to Andretti. They will bring the funding and the passion. Gene Haas just seems constantly irritated that he owns an F1 team...poor billionaire 1% problems. (I wish I could relate!)

It is Gene's team, he can do whatever he wants.

@@ronbelanger4113 totally just he shouldn't be surprised when they're last

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but DTS is cancelled :(

@@maartenn2217 Happy to be the bearer of good news, because DTS has not been canceled. That was just a joke that was posted on Reddit due to Steiner's departure from Haas.

More because he's the clown 🤡 of F1 reporter's 😢 man was to stupid to use a great 10 mins of a interview by asking the same question over and over 😮😮😮

That was top end journalism, give that guy a raise

Why was Jean Todt one of your favorites? I mean, definitely capable, but apart from that not the most charismatic guy and never had a lot to say....

⁠@@djoetma Maybe his success as a WRC co-driver, success as a team principal in WRC, Paris/Dakar, Pikes Peak, Le Mans and of course his somewhat successful stint at Ferrari? Maybe Leinad also respected Todt for his time as FIA President or his work as special envoy in the UN? As you outlined, he never had a lot to say in the press but there again the most successful people I know tend to let their deeds do the talking. TBH I can’t think of any F1 TP who has achieved more in motorsport than JT.

@@sultanoftippoo3857 Those are all great achievements (not the FIA-president thing), but that doesn't necessarily make an argument for why someone is liked as a team principle.

@@djoetma surely all those achievements are exactly why the OP likes JT as a TP? I can’t think of anyone who has built successful teams across so many series or appears to have survived 40 years in motorsport politics and has kept his reputation in tact. Doing what he did at Peugeot in the WRC was impressive but to follow that up with his tenure at Peugeot in Le Mans and of course to be at the helm for 6 consecutive F1 championships at Ferrari to me shows exceptional leadership skills over a very long period of time across multiple series each needing very different disciplines. Just my 2 cents. Out of interest, who is your no.1 TP?

@sultanoftippoo3857 I don't know, that's why I asked him. Also, I don't think having an impressive palmares per definition is reason to like someone. F.e. one of the more recent principles I liked was Abiteboul because he had interesting insights to share during interviews and he always was 'just' an engineer and later on a policy maker.

He’s been in F1 for a couple of decades. He’ll be fine

@@mrmatt8949 It's not easy for TPs to return. Look at the French Renault guy, Binotto etc.
