With F1 introducing a mandatory budget cap on performance and development-related spending throughout a season, a crucial aspect in controlling costs, Steiner said seeing how other teams have invested in their infrastructures and factory equipment has been a big differentiator versus where Haas is.
“If you look at all the other teams, they are all gearing up,” he said.
“They are not gearing up now – they started to gear up two, three years ago, last year. So everybody is getting stronger, investing a lot in the future, because Formula 1 is on a very good path where it’s going at the moment.
“That is what is needed to do to stay competitive.
“So I don’t know Gene Haas’ plans for the future. He didn’t share them with me. He doesn’t have to, by the way – I want to make that clear as well, you know, I’m actually not really interested in it anymore! [laughs].
