Günther Steiner supports Dmitry Mazepin’s Haas Incentive Program

Haas boss Günther Steiner would welcome Dmitry Mazepin’s idea of ​​implementing an incentive system to keep employees on the team.

The American team suffered a gradual crash after climbing to the lofty heights of P5 in the Constructors’ Championship in the comparatively glorious days of 2018.

Since then, Haas has slipped to P9 rankings in a row, and in 2021 they landed on the proverbial wooden spoon after effectively writing off the entire campaign at the start of the season to put all efforts into 2022 when new regulations come into effect.

Since Haas is steadily declining and other projects in the paddock may look more exciting for the Haas team members, Steiner has not yet seen anything of a “mass migration” within the employee structure.

To address this potential problem, Dmitry Mazepin, father of Haas driver Nikita, has suggested loyalty rewards for those who remain part of the Haas project – an idea Steiner supports.

“We talk to other people and they have the same problem,” Steiner told GPFans.

“It’s nothing else. Few people go. They go away every year. If he [Mazepin] had to give them an incentive, if he can do it right, i’m all for it.

“People go, I think that’s every season. At the end of the season, some people leave.

“On the technical side, for example, we have more people than before if they stay. Not that many people left. It’s more of a racing thing because it’s a calendar of 23 races.

“People just want to have a different career. You do something different, but it’s not outrageous.

“It’s a little more than normal, but it ends every year. Some people move away a bit because otherwise the race mechanics are usually young, because they have to be young.

“It’s pretty exhausting to do this job, and if someone sees an opportunity if they move on, it’s okay to do something better.

“I’m not stopping them, but a mass exodus … that’s not true.”

In other recent news at Haas, 2022 driver Mick Schumacher has been appointed Ferrari reserve for eleven races for the next season, sharing responsibilities with Antonio Giovinazzi.

In the event that Schumacher were needed to replace Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz when he is on standby at Ferrari, Pietro Fittipaldi would take Schumacher’s place.
