The 2022 F1 season came just in the nick of time for Haas. The American squad spent the better part of the last two seasons down the back of the grid, with last year a transition season to concentrate on the new era regulations car. It was a huge gamble, but one that paid off – with the team back at the head of the midfield, hoping for the chance at a lucky podium when the top teams slip up. The one who’s ridden the wave most of all is team boss Guenther Steiner, the no-nonsense operator whose ordinarily behind-the-scenes super-sweary rants have been made world-famous by Netflix series Formula 1: Drive To Survive. Expletives aside, Steiner is one of the paddock’s good guys, with a big heart.
So good to see Haas doing well again, Guenther. The opening race in Bahrain must have been such a relief for you?
Absolutely. If you think it’s good, we think it’s even better. It’s good for the team; we had a few tough years. And hopefully they are in the past. But I think we learnt a lot out of that. And I think that’s why we are where we are now.
When did you realise you might be onto a good thing?
