“Suck my b*lls?” Magnussen’s stance amid Hulk’s explosive Haas critique.

Nico Hulkenberg, the veteran German driver known for his super-straightforward approach, has not shied away from voicing his concerns in recent weeks. Although he only got called back to F1 after a forced sabbatical, he’s been demanding fundamental changes within the Haas organization, especially following the extreme disappointing performance of the newly launched and totally hapless ‘B’-spec car.

“Gunther (Steiner) and the others in the management have to ask some serious questions and look at all areas,” Hulkenberg asserted. His demands are clear: “Does something need to change with the structure, personnel or something else?” Hulkenberg’s determination for improvement is palpable as he states, “I want to believe that it will happen in the coming weeks.”

In a marked contrast, Kevin Magnussen opts for a more measured tone. Speaking to Ekstra Bladet newspaper, a national daily, he expresses his reluctance to join Hulkenberg in the open criticism of their employer. “It doesn’t help the team at all to do that,” he insists, emphasizing the collective nature of the sport. “We all play a role and all have a responsibility.”

Hulkenberg slams Haas and sends engineers a clear message

Nico Hulkenberg has sent a clear message to his Haas team, after enduring a tough season-finale at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. A big package was introduced in the United States, but Hulkenberg ran the old-spec in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi, feeling it was a better option to team-mate Kevin Magnussen's preference of the newer-spec.

"I don't think there is a huge difference between them, minor differences," Hulkenberg told media, including RacingNews365. "Last weekend, I felt actually the new package had an edge over the old package on a low downforce configuration. This weekend I felt quite okay, Kevin didn't feel so happy.

"They are so similar, but that's in itself obviously not good enough. An update is supposed to be better and fix some of your issues and unfortunately, that didn't happen." When asked if there is anything specific that needs to change over the winter break: "I don't know if it proved anything. We need to work hard because I want us to do better, we need to pick up our feet, do a better job.

Hulkenberg: Ferrari ties no excuse for poor Haas F1 development

Nico Hulkenberg admits Haas is limited by its close relationship with Ferrari but insists that is no excuse for the team’s poor car development during the 2023 Formula 1 season. While Hulkenberg accepts that Haas’ close ties with Ferrari limit its potential, the German highlights how the team underdelivered compared to previous years.

“For sure that has its limitations,” he said regarding the extent of the collaboration, which includes an office located in the Italian marque’s Maranello factory. “But this team has done far better than 10th in the past. It’s not realistic to say we’re going for second or third or something, but we should be challenging somewhere around sixth or seventh, for sure. And that’s where this year we’ve been a little bit behind the expectations.”

Pressed on if that’s something that can be changed with the VF-24, Hulkenberg issued: “We’re very linked to Ferrari so whatever they do, develop, find, next year, kind of carries on and is applicable to us. I don’t know, to be honest, at this point in time. TBC.”

‘I’m ready for another one!’ – Hulkenberg taking plenty of positives from comeback season despite Haas struggles
01 December 2023
Formula One - Official Site

Nico Hulkenberg has explained that while 2023 was “not satisfying” in terms of the results he and Haas achieved, the many positives of returning to a full-time F1 seat “outweighed” the challenges faced.

“Whilst obviously the season sporting-wise is not satisfying and not what we wanted, far from it actually, still all the other positives outweigh the difficult Sundays and the lack of points.”

“Just being in the competition again, fighting on Lap 1, that thrill, that excitement, and altogether the work with the team… even the travelling, the [other] stuff, it’s all good. I feel happy and ready for another one.”

EXCLUSIVE: This could rev up the engines of those Formula One fans: CBS is in the early stages of developing a single-camera workplace comedy with Haas Racing team principal Guenther Steiner.

The project, which does not yet have a writer attached, will be set in the world of sports with a “Steineresque” boss at the head of the ensemble. Steiner will serve as a non-writing executive producer on the project. No studio is attached.

Steiner has become a fan favorite known for his outsized personality, thanks to his appearances on the Netflix docuseries Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Launched in 2019, the series is a collaboration between Netflix and Formula One and offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at the drivers and races of the Formula One World Championship.

Haas team principal Guenther Steiner is to be involved in the production of a fictional comedy television show based on his antics in Netflix’s Drive to Survive, it has emerged.

Earlier this year, Steiner spoke of his surprise about his newfound rockstar status in an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with PlanetF1.com’s Thomas Maher. He said: “I never tried to be this, what I got to. When I started in 2016, I never tried to be this guy, where everybody knows my name and shouts my name. It’s a little bit weird to me.”

“I never tried to be it. But on the other side, I think it is good for Formula 1, not because of me, but because of the whole business growing because then we make it sustainable.”

Haas team principal Guenther Steiner is to work on a new workplace comedy show, which will feature a 'Steineresque' boss. Although it hasn't been given a title as of yet, it has been revealed that broadcaster CBS are behind the new show.

It will be interesting to see just how many similarities there are between the work place comedy's on-screen boss and Steiner, and whether or not they choose to make the character quite as x-rated as the Haas boss.
