    Gene Haas doesn't have any friends - he has customers, employees, and suppliers. I first met him in 1996 and did his PR for 20years. He doesn't do 'socialising'. He is a very introverted man whose focus are technical, engineering , and business challenges.

    I really like his logic around not watching Drive to Survive.. I think if and when he's completely done with F1 he will watch it and will enjoy it just like we all did. He's not wrong though. If he watches himself drop 47 F bombs in an episode (which I love) he may lose his sh*t in the future go to drop an F bomb and notice a camera and say FUDGE!

    Haas made very, very stupid mistakes during Steiner's management. And they happened frequently. They didn't tighten the bolts more than once. If they could do better in logistics, Haas's performance might be much better. At least they could get back to the middle instead of the bottom. The team missed almost every opportunity to score more points because of various mistakes. Steiner is definitely responsible in this regard. He was blaming the drivers for those years. And he didn't manage the team well, both strategically and logistically. After Komatsu took over, the team never made stupid mistakes again. This proves that the team leader can really lead the team on the right track. And Steiner spent too much time shirking responsibility. I thought it was Grosjean's fault at first, but since Komatsu took over Haas, I realized that Steiner was the core of the whole incident. Grosjean was originally an unstable driver, and Steiner made it worse.
