Haas F1 team boss Guenther Steiner says F1 should not change the rules to curb Red Bull Racing’s current dominance. Red Bull have dominated the previous three events in 2023, with Max Verstappen winning in Bahrain and Australia, and team-mate Sergio Perez winning in Saudi Arabia.
Some fear that one team’s year-long battle for supremacy will have a negative impact on F1 following Red Bull’s dominance in 2022, but Steiner always shows the integrity of the sport. emphasized that it should take precedence over “Sport is the main thing we have to have,” said Steiner when asked by Autosport regarding his priorities. “The show is secondary. But I think it will work and we still have some good races going on with Czech and Max at the front. I don’t think it’s without sparks and shows.” There’s a show element to the race, but I’m not worried regarding other people catching up,” Steiner insisted the current rules didn’t need to change. “I think they will work,” Steiner noted. “It’s true that Red Bull have an advantage so far, but I can’t say for sure that they will have that advantage for the next 20 races,” he said. If we know what they have won, we can copy it or do something similar.”I think everyone is working hard, but with Red Bull’s penalty last year, this year’s wind tunnel will not be possible.” We must also remember that there is less development and in theory we can’t go much further.” “So we’ll have to see. But they’ve done a great job. So you can’t blame the regulations. Because if someone does a better job than everyone else, that person should have an advantage.”Günter Steiner (Haas F1 Team Principal) What do you think of the attempt to slow Red Bull down by changing the rules? “You can’t make a move just because someone is faster than someone else, and that’s not fair,” said Staner when questioned. “If something is deemed not legal, they can adjust the rules. Safety is always a concern, but we’ll have to see in a few races what’s really going on. I think there is, and I don’t think we should jump to conclusions just yet.” Meanwhile, Steiner expects the battle between the midfield teams, led by Haas F1 Team, to remain tight. “Who’s in front and who’s behind will depend on the racecourse configuration,” Steiner said. “There will be cars that are strong on high-speed tracks, there will be cars that are strong on tracks like Monte Carlo, but we don’t know yet.”
