Guenther Steiner Offers FIA a Haas F1 Tour Amidst ‘White Ferrari’ Allegations
Haas has really turned things around this season. They already have more points than their 2020 and 2021 campaigns combined. Moreover, the team has been very closely working with Ferrari. In light of all this, there have always been talks of them essentially becoming a Ferrari B-team. However, now the team principal, Guenther Steiner, is tired of these comments and has made his stand.
Guenther Steiner has his say on the matter
Haas not only runs Ferrari engines but also gets their transmissions and many other components from the Maranello outfit. Due to this, may have dubbed Haas as “the white Ferrari”. However, Steiner has had enough of these comments.

In a recent interview with RTL he said, “What we do, we do everything according to the regulations,”. Through this statement, Steiner emphasized that Haas does not tamper with any components and ensures everything is completely legal and by the regulations.
Steiner also added, “Check what you want, you can come whenever you want, you’re always welcome,” inviting the FIA for investigation whenever they want.
He also reassured that Haas would not risk sharing data with Ferrari and any IT checks would also be clean.
Seiner went on to mention the Racing Point-Mercedes situation and said, “If you think back to the Mercedes-Racing Point case… Ferrari can’t afford it and we don’t want to afford it.”.
Haas has had a stellar start to the 2022 season
The American team had high hopes going into this season. They had stopped the development of their 2021 car to work on mastering the new regulations. And they finally have a competitive car!

They have been constantly fighting in the midfield. Kevin Magnussen finished P5 in the season opener in Bahrain. He also finished in the points in Jeddah. Now, the team will surely be looking to secure a good haul of points, again.
