Steiner’s warning

Haas team boss Gunther Steiner reckons there would be no point in him carrying on in F1 in the long term if there was never a chance of his team being able to challenge the sport’s top three outfits. Steiner says that he can accept such a situation carrying on in the short term, but thinks that he would have to question his involvement longer term if things do not change. “I think for two years yes, it’s sustainable,” Steiner said. “But long term: no, it gets old. If it doesn’t change at some point there’s no point to just be in it. The business as a business doesn’t work if you cannot take and feel the enjoyment of competing for podiums and wins.”
