Guenther Steiner: Aston Martin hat für den schwachen Saisonstart 2026 keine Entschuldigung

Der ehemalige Haas-Teamchef Guenther Steiner hat Aston Martin für den enttäuschenden Saisonauftakt 2026 in der Formel 1 kritisiert. Er verwies auf die massiven Investitionen und Ressourcen des Teams, die solche Ergebnisse inakzeptabel machten.

Steiner äußerte sich dazu in einem Auftritt im "The Red Flags Podcast". Er hob dabei die neue Partnerschaft mit Honda als Motorenlieferant, die Verpflichtung von Adrian Newey als Managing Technical Partner im Jahr 2025 sowie den Bau einer neuen Firmenzentrale inklusive Windkanal unter Eigentümer Lawrence Stroll hervor. Nach vier Rennen belegt Aston Martin ohne einen einzigen Punkt den letzten Platz in der Konstrukteurswertung.
