Good morning! Unfortunately, most of todayโ€™s newsletter will come from the bad news departmentโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™ Haas F1 has parted ways with team principle and Netflix Drive to Survive ICON Guenther Steiner. Also saying goodbye is the 2024 SRX season, the Extreme E series and Kyle Larsonโ€™s Chili Bowl hopes.

So to cheer you up, weโ€™ve compiled all of the Guenther Steiner memes that we could find!

Haas in a Haze

Haas F1 Team replaces popular team principal Guenther Steiner with Ayao Komatsu. Despite Steiner’s strong media presence and sponsor appeal, his role wasn’t secure after Haas’ underwhelming 10th place finish last season.

Komatsu steps into a challenging role, tasked with reviving Haas amidst stiff competition. With limited resources compared to its rivals, his success hinges on more than just leadership skills.

The move raises questions about Haas’ strategic direction and ability to improve. It’s a bold strategy that could redefine the team’s future or further complicate its path to success in the high-stakes world of Formula 1.

SRX Says Goodbye

The Superstar Racing Experience (SRX), co-founded by NASCAR legend Tony Stewart, has hit an unexpected roadblock, announcing the delay of its highly anticipated fourth season. In a forthright statement, the SRX team revealed, “Our expectations, however, have been tempered by market factors that have proven too much to overcome.” This setback highlights the series’ struggle against challenging industry dynamics, despite a successful run since its inception in 2021, which saw Stewart win the inaugural title, followed by victories for Marco Andretti and Ryan Newman in the subsequent seasons.

Behind the scenes, significant movements are afoot within the racing industry. Ray Evernham, a NASCAR Hall of Fame crew chief and one of the brains behind SRX, has recently acquired the historic IROC brand alongside Rob Kauffman, indicating strategic developments. While the 2024 season was initially scheduled to commence on July 11 at Stafford Speedway, the postponement now provides partners with “time and flexibility.” SRX has promised to keep fans and stakeholders updated on its plans and the series’ long-term potential, signalling a commitment to rethinking and evolving in the fast-paced world of motorsports.

Guenther Steiner may make a swift return to the F1 grid.

Steinerโ€™s severance package from Haas reportedly includes the swear jar from his 10 years at the team. This is thought to be worth at least $250m.

He also has a potential sponsor in UK clothing brand French Connection.
