nearing a return to motorsport <\/a>with the Tech3 MotoGP outfit.<\/p>\nSteiner has been in talks about being involved with the motorcycle team in some capacity.<\/p>\n
His exact role is still unclear, with Tech3 boss Herve Poncharal outlining a range of roles Steiner could fill, from investor, partner, minority shareholder or helping with sponsorship.<\/p>\n
It will see Steiner return under the Liberty Media umbrella after F1\u2019s owners completed the takeover of MotoGP – the premier motorcycle series – last year.<\/p>\n
Steiner\u2019s \u201cexperience\u201d and \u201cstraightforward\u201d way of talking has warmed the Tech3 team as they look to consolidate their position in MotoGP.<\/p>\n
Since Steiner\u2019s departure from Haas, he\u2019s only worked as a TV pundit, with no return to an F1 team seemingly on the cards.<\/p>\n
Steiner\u2019s F1 journey<\/p>\n
Steiner\u2019s F1 history stretches back to the early 2000s with Jaguar, joining them as their team principal.<\/p>\n
Steiner got the job after initially plying his trade in the European Rally Championship with Prodrive.<\/p>\n
In 2000, Steiner worked alongside rally legends Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae in his role as head of engineering.<\/p>\n
He got his F1 break in 2001, spending a few years as Jaguar team boss.<\/p>\n
Red Bull brought the team in 2005, where Steiner worked alongside Christian Horner.<\/p>\n
Steiner would ultimately depart at the end of 2005 after Red Bull had signed Adrian Newey.<\/p>\n
Steiner remained at Red Bull until the end of 2008, leading their NASCAR efforts.<\/p>\n
In 2016, Steiner led Haas F1 as team principal.<\/p>\n
While Gene Haas was the owner of the team, Steiner was the clear figurehead.<\/p>\n
Steiner\u2019s honesty and exuberant personality raised his personal profile, particularly with the release of Netflix documentary ‘Drive to Survive’.<\/p>\n
Haas enjoyed modest results under his leadership, finishing fifth in the 2018 F1 constructors\u2019 standings.<\/p>\n
Since then, Haas\u2019 results have been hit-and-miss, with the team finishing bottom of the constructors\u2019 championship in his final year in charge.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the 2024 campaign, Haas sacked Steiner, with reports hinting at a disagreement with owner Gene about the team\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n
