If true, that must be quite sudden. I'm sure they would not have planned to get rid of their principal so close to the testing and the new season.

I dunno if anyone else could have done much better with the same resource, but they have been stuck in a rut for a while now.

Considering resta's resignation was quite sudden, I reckon something is a foot if there is something.

My contact in haas seemed in good spirits last time I saw them (visited my neighbour around Xmas with a brand new beamer).
Can only hope the staff in beds, bucks and maranello arent badly affected.

What would be interesting / a bit funny is if aldo Costa becomes their new chief designer / tech lead as he is now in charge of dallara

IT'S OFFICIAL : GUENTHER STEINER HAS LEFT HAAS!!!

He has been replaced by Ayao Komatsu as team principal. Komatsu has been in F1 for a while. He was grosjeans race engineer at lotus and he joined Haas same time as romain, subsequently becoming their chief race engineer.
This is the latest on the trend of race engineers / strategists become team principles like Andrea Stella at mclaren and James vowles at williams

Steiner is sacked or quit.

By all accounts, he wants investment to keep pace. Haas wants a small profit and the brand.
Mclaren has unveiled their new livery for 2024 and it looks great.
It's prettymuch a tribute to their old Marlborough colours from the 80s - mid 90s but with the white being replaced by black and the fluorescent orange/red by papaya orange

hi!
not really sure if this is the right place to post this but I was wondering if any of you could help me decide on my epq title (a sort of dissertation done in sixth form). I want to do it about tobacco sponsorship in motorsport, specifically f1, but am struggling to narrow down and decide on a topic title (which needs to be in the form of a question).
please lmk if any one has any ideas or interesting topic focuses within the realm of tobacco advertising and f1 :smile:

also if anyone has any good ideas about resources- mainly books- I could use I would also appreciate that lots!

What happens next,?
A bit silly with regards to new teams then. I don't know who is going to be more credible than Andretti aligned with Cadillac.
