Guenther Steiner has been linked with a sensational return to F1 as a team owner - not just a team principal.

Stei💛ner was replaced as Haas team boss at the start of 2024, paving the way for Ayao Komatsu to take the role.

Rumours are now emerging linking Steiner tꦐo a possible F1 team ownership bid.

According to , Ste🗹iner is plotting a return, this time looking for an ownership stake within an exisꦬting team.

Steiner has already outlined his desire to challenge at the front of F1🧸 if he was to return - not just ♕battle for points as he did with Haas.

“I’ve spent so many years iꦏn F1 that I wa💟nt to do more than just participate and score points every once in a while. I want to really compete and try to win,” he said previously.

“I’m not going to come back just to rꦿun a team if I don’t have that opportunity.”

The aforementioned report hinted that Steiner already has the♑ funds - and investor - to make it possible.

Red Bull’s second team - RB - has been mooted as a potent🍌ial team Steiner ওcould acquire an ownership stake in.

However, even if Steiner was to take over, th෴e team would be obliged to run Red Bull engines until 2030 and run one of their junior drivers.

R⭕ed Bull advisor Helmut Mꦡarko revealed earlier this month “there are many interested parties” in acquiring RB.

"There are many interested parties, but in the end it i💦s a shareholder decision,” he explained. “The price is high for a team, nothing has been decided yet."

RB currently sit sixth in the 2024 F1 constructors’ championship after a strong start to the campaign with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda.

It’s the first year without Franz Tost at the helm𓂃 as he stepped down to open the door for Peter Bayer to become team CEO and Laurent Mekie🌼s as team principal.
