Guenther Steiner: ‘Nonsense’ FIA calls show ‘there is a lot of margin to do better’Guenther Steiner has spoken out about the “complete nonsense” surrounding the black-and-orange flag calls which plagued Haas in 2022, which shows there is still room for improvement in FIA race control this season.
Haas were hit by three calls into the pit lane with the so-called ‘meatball’ flag last season, which denotes car damage that needs to be fixed before it can be deemed safe to continue to run in races, such as loose bodywork. The FIA underwent changes before the beginning of last season after the departure of former race director Michael Masi following the controversial conclusion to the 2021 campaign, with Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas selected to rotate the race director role last year.
But given the FIA’s admission there had been an “overreaction” on its part to some decisions taken last season surrounding the use of the black-and-orange flag, the Haas team principal takes that as a sign that the governing body’s mission to improve is not yet complete.“It’s not like everything is sorted now. I think in race control, there is a lot of margin to do better.
“We saw in the last races [of 2022] there were some decisions taken which I think need to be addressed.”
