I certainly don't know much about F1 other than reading this thread and catching a few races. I have been verbal in this thread but more or less in theory and principle than coming from pure knowledge. That having been said, of course I know little about Steiner.
I did see a video probably produced 3 years ago featuring Steiner. He came across as someone that I would not work for. Crude, profane and certainly self assured. I immediately disliked him.
Hopefully Komatsu will be more of a gentleman and better yet, a success. I know the Captain has said many times you can't come from outside the top 3 and their sub teams. Since I will root for the smaller teams if they aren't clowns, I will root for Hass.
Speaking of Hass (and OT to this thread) I see partner Tony Stewart is stepping into his wife's Top Fuel digger while she "plans to start a family." I'm no big TS fan but the guy is a racer of racers. He has done a lot even winning 3 divisions of USAC in one year.
Now add drag racing to his resume. I hope he does not embarrass himself. I've been following the background of drag racing lately to understand more. While not on an F1 level, these TF and FC cars are no joke, very technical and even harder to harness. TS is looking into the eye of the beast.
Good luck to Hass in F1 and the new (2 year old) Stewart NHRA team.
