Former Haas and Red Bull chief Guenther Steiner is set to take over a MotoGP team, m♈arking a surprise move into the motorcycle racing series now under the ownership of Liberty Media, which also owns F1.

Steiner has been out of work since being replaced by Ayao Komatsu as Haas team principal ahead of the 2024 F1 season.

The Italian is now168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: nearing a return to motorsport with the Tech3 MotoGP outfit.

S𓆉teiner has been in talks about being involved🔯 with the motorcycle team in some capacity.

His exact role is still unclear, with Tech3 boss Herv𒊎e Poncharal outlining a range of roles Steiner could fill, from investor, partner, minority shareꦅholder or helping with sponsorship.

It will see Steiner return under the Libe🔯rty Media umbrella after F1’s owners completed the takeover of MotoGP - the premier motorc🅠ycle series - last year.

Steiner’s “experience” and “straightforward” way of talking has warmed♛ the Tech3 team as they look to consolidate their position in MotoGP.

Since Steiner’s departure from Haas, he’s only wor💎ked as a TV pundit, with no return to an F1 team seemingly on the cards.

Steiner’s F1 journey

Steiner’s F1 history stretches back to the early ꦬ2000s with Jaguar, joining them as their team principal.

Steiner got t𝔉he job after initially plying his trade in the European Rally Championship with P𝕴rodrive.

In 2000, Steiner worked alongside rally legends Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae🐻 in his role as head of engineering.

He got his F1 break in 2001, ༺spending a few years as Jaguar tea🌟m boss.

Red Bull brought⛦ the team in 2005, 🎶where Steiner worked alongside Christian Horner.

Steiner w🌌ould ultimately depart at the end of 2005 🍎after Red Bull had signed Adrian Newey.

Steiner remained at Red Bull until the e♊nd of 2008, leading their NASCAR efforts🔯.

In 2016, Steiner led Haas F1 as team principal.

While Gene Haas was the owner of ꦆthe team, Stein𝔍er was the clear figurehead.

Ste🎶iner’s honesty and exuberant personality raised his personal profile, particularly with the release of Netflix documentary 'Drive to Survive'.

Haas enjoyed modest reꦗsults under his leadership, finishing🗹 fifth in the 2018 F1 constructors’ standings.

Since then, Haas’ res🍸ults have been hit-and-miss, with the team finishing bottom of the constru꧃ctors’ championship in his final year in charge.

Ahead of the 2024 campaign, Haas sacked Steiner, wit♛h reports hinting at a disagreement with owner Gene about the team’s direction.
