Guenther Steiner spiega il rapido adattamento dei giovani piloti ai regolamenti F1 del 2026

L'ex team principal della Haas in Formula 1, Guenther Steiner, attribuisce il successo dei piloti più giovani nella stagione 2026 alla mancanza di abitudini radicate derivanti dalle vetture precedenti. Ha messo in evidenza Kimi Antonelli della Mercedes, che guida il campionato dopo le vittorie nei Gran Premi di Cina e Giappone. Steiner ha messo in contrasto il vantaggio di Antonelli con le difficoltà incontrate dal compagno di squadra George Russell.

Guenther Steiner, ex team principal della Haas F1, ha discusso nel podcast Drive to Wynn perché i piloti più giovani abbiano avuto successo con i regolamenti del 2026. Ha sottolineato che si adattano più rapidamente alle nuove tecnologie senza il peso di cattive abitudini sviluppate nel corso di anni su vetture più datate. 'Il fattore chiave per me è come i giovani piloti si siano adattati a questo', ha detto Steiner. 'Non hanno ancora molte cattive abitudini che debbano cambiare.'
