One of F1’s most popular and longest-serving team bosses, Guenther Steiner, has left his role in charge of Haas. It’s a shock move that poses serious questions about the team’s prospects and future. It’s almost unthinkable to imagine Haas without Steiner, as while the team bears the name of its owner Gene Haas, this was really Steiner F1 in all but name. Steiner was the man who made F1’s strangest team set-up possible and became an unexpected star of the Netflix Drive to Survive series. Steiner’s departure, with former director of engineering Ayao Komatsu taking over as team principal, has surprised almost everybody in F1. BUT there has been discontent bubbling away for some time now, and the situation had been coming to a head behind the scenes. Now, Steiner’s gone, and technical director Simone Resta is understood to be out as well. There were frustrations with the way that Haas was run from the very top, and that means eponymous team owner Gene Haas, who has seemingly become apathetic towards his own F1 team and refused to invest in it. Steiner and Haas disagreed on the team’s potential in its current form. While Steiner felt Haas needed steady investment over the next few years, as it had outgrown its unique multi-location, Ferrari-dependent model, Gene Haas believes the team has underachieved and does not need more resources or improved facilities to perform better.

Daniel Ricciardo might be back to his best in Formula 1, and starting to show he could get a Red Bull Racing return after all. Ricciardo was performing at a Red Bull level at the Mexican Grand Prix - literally. He qualified alongside Max Verstappen AND outpaced Sergio Perez, which is as much of a statement as it’s possible to make in an AlphaTauri. ESPECIALLY as Ricciardo followed that up with a strong seventh place in the grand prix, running ahead of several faster cars for a lot of it and passing every test of his racecraft, tyre management and pace, while Perez completely imploded and wiped himself out at the first corner. And this is about much more than a single result. It’s what made such a performance possible, the reasons to believe it’s sustainable, how much life it breathes into Ricciardo’s post-McLaren renaissance and the fact he looks like he really COULD be what Red Bull needs from Verstappen’s future team-mate. 00:00 Ricciardo shines 02:00 What changed? 03:51 What's now working 06:33 Why it's significant 08:31 Made for Netflix Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #danielricciardo #sergioperez #redbull #f1news #mexicogp #mexicangp #ricciardo #formula1 #perez #checo #f12023 #f12024 #formulaone #alphatauri #redbullf1 #redbullracing
Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton’s best weekend of 2023 ended in the worst possible outcome. Their strongest challenge against Red Bull and Max Verstappen yet ended in a disqualification for a rare breach of a near-30-year-old rule - with Ferrari falling foul of this as well. Red Bull was checked, hadn’t made the same mistake - and therefore Verstappen’s victory stood. Conversely Hamilton was stripped of his second place at the United States GP just a few hours after chasing Verstappen closely in his upgraded Mercedes in easily his and the team’s most competitive showing of the season, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc got excluded from sixth place at the same time. Their cars breached the same technical regulation that refers to the thickness of the plank assembly under the car, with a minimum thickness of 9mm accepted after a competitive session due to wear. It put a dampener on a much improved weekend for Mercedes even if there were a few factors behind dominant world champion Verstappen almost suffering a rare defeat. 00:00 Exclusions 01:57 How Ferrari and Mercedes got caught out 03:26 Why only four cars were checked 05:28 How Red Bull avoided trouble 07:55 What about Mercedes' upgrade?

Daniel Ricciardo’s Formula 1 comeback with AlphaTauri is one of the big stories of the 2023 season. But whether the story has a happy ending for the Australian and his many fans depends on what is probably the worst car on the grid for him to jump into. That’s not because its uncompetitive – although that doesn’t help – but because of tricky handling characteristics that could expose some of the same weaknesses that made his two years at McLaren – that glorious victory at Monza in 2021 aside - a failure. That McLaren was willing to pay Ricciardo, who had a contract for 2023, millions not to race so it could replace him with Oscar Piastri means his F1 stock is at an all-time low. But the opportunity to return to F1 mid-season in place of the ousted Nyck De Vries means Ricciardo now has the chance to re-establish himself as an F1 star. The question, will the AlphaTauri AT04 allow him to? 00:00 Ricciardo's low stock 00:50 AlphaTauri's limitations 04:59 Open-minded 07:01 Eyes on Red Bull?

Daniel Ricciardo is making make a shock return to the Formula 1 grid, replacing Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri with immediate effect. But Ricciardo will not settle for just driving for Red Bull’s sister team again, and his reason for agreeing to this will be because he has something much bigger in mind. This news emerged on the day Ricciardo got back behind the wheel of a proper Red Bull F1 car, driving its 2023 RB19 in a tyre test at Silverstone - and the Australian’s real target is clear. 00:00 De Vries out, Ricciardo in 00:42 A big chance 03:12 Perez under threat? 05:11 A sorry saga Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #f1news #danielricciardo #ricciardo #devries #nyckdevries #redbull #redbullf1 #redbullracing #alphatauri #f12023 #formula1 #formulaone #hungariangp #grandprix #therace #marko #horner #perez #sergioperez #checoperez #checo
McLaren’s Formula 1 revival was on shaky ground for the first half of 2023, but its recent upturn in form gives hope to fans of the papaya team that it’s very much back on target. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri starred in qualifying at the British Grand Prix, taking second and third on the grid. They would have finished there, but for an unfortunately-timed safety car that meant Piastri dropped to fourth behind Lewis Hamilton. That’s a dramatic turnaround for a team that was at the back as recently as the Miami Grand Prix in May and looked in danger of falling permanently behind its midfield rivals. The car was so impressive at Silverstone that Lewis Hamilton called it “a rocketship". So was this a one-off, or are there signs of a genuine resurgence for McLaren? What changes has it made to its car and what still needs to be done if its to re-emerge as a front running force in the coming years? 00:00 A change of fortunes 00:49 The road to recovery 03:59 Big upgrades 07:22 Much more to come Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #britishgp #mclaren #formula1 #f12023 #formulaone #mclarenf1 #landonorris #oscarpiastri #silverstone #f1highlights #f1news #grandprix #therace
