The Latest Breaking News from Guenther Steiner

In two years, all teams but Mercedes and Red Bull have changed their team principals.

The shock news was announced by the US-owned outfit on Wednesday in the wake of a poor 2023 season that saw it finish 10th and last in the constructors’ world championship.

The 2023 show was very much about restarting things after the hiatus brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. But now it’s about looking ahead. The plan is to improve the show over the next three years, and the 2024 edition is the first with the new concept and floor plan…

After losing his full-time F1 drive with Renault at the end of 2019, Nico Hulkenberg had to make do with a handful of super-sub outings for Racing Point/Aston Martin until Haas came knocking.

According to a report on leading Hollywood website Deadline, CBS is in the ‘early stages of developing a single-camera workplace comedy’ with Steiner, who will be a non-writing executive producer of the show.
