Hill: “Steiner a great loss for Formula 1, he had become a celebrity”

The world of formula 1 is reacting to the separation between Guenther Steiner , Haas. The South Tyrolean team principal was one of the founders of the American team, when back in 2014 the start of the project was announced which would then see the track a year and a half later. For this reason, therefore, the Italian's departure is making a lot of noise, and several people in the Circus are saddened by what happened. Damon Hill, 1996 world champion, wanted to have his say in this regard.

“Guenther became a celebrity after the Netflix series and behind-the-scenes filming – Hill told Sky Sports. He is a great character, very decisive and sure of what he says. He wants to win, but I don't know the real reason for this separation. I think it's a big loss for Formula 1 because the fans liked him, he attracted people and he was outspoken, but maybe he didn't get the results that Gene Haas wanted. He was the investor, but Guenther is one of the minds who put the team together, practically the team was his, but he didn't own it. As team principal your primary job and your attention must be precisely on what you do, but there was also talk of a TV series with him as the protagonist, he became popular, a sort of celebrity, but it wasn't his fault."
