That name isn’t far off some of the WERA bios people post. Listing every equipment brand they may use in that off chance there is some contingency money.

 

Guenther Steiner out at Haaaaaaasssss as Team Prinicple.

 

WOW
Gene Haas made the announcement Wednesday and said director of engineering Ayao Komatsu, who started with Haas as chief race engineer in its 2016 debut season, will now oversee the competition elements as team principal.

Haas said Komatsu will be responsible for overall strategy and on-track performance. Haas also plans to hire a European-based chief operating officer to manage non-competition matters from the team factory in Banbury, England.

Haas in a statement thanked Steiner “for all his hard work over the past decade” but was short of praise for the man who built the Haas F1 team.

“Moving forward as an organization it was clear we need to improve our on-track performances. In appointing Ayao Komatsu as team principal we fundamentally have engineering at the heart of our management," Haas said.

 

I have a feeling that Guenther was handcuffed by ownership, but he also didn't accomplish much outside of DTS sound bites.

 

I just saw the Steiner “announcement” over at crash. Sweet black baby Jesus on a pogo stick!

 

He will land another good job in F1.

 

Shocker! I like the guy, but didn't like the way Mick was handled. He's a great personality, so hope he lands on his feet elsewhere in the paddock so I can see him on DTS in the future.

 

Mick didn’t step up and tore shit up. See ya’, there’s always Indy cars.

 

I know it probably bores most people, but the first Formula E race is on today. Hey, it's racing.

 

Nothing like the hummmmmm of electric motors to get the blood flowing!

 

I'd rather watch a tumbleweed race.

 

I really tried to like it. I hung on for the first three seasons.

 

Damn, way out of touch on F1. Didn’t know until today that Mick Doohan’s son was in F2 and a reserve driver for Alpine.

 

He's done a few FP sessions in an F1 car last year.

 

He is as easygoing as his father in the car. His radio communications are entertaining. Very friendly racer.

 

He gave me a better reason to make sure I catch the F2 races the last couple of seasons.
