For the first time in Formula 1 history, the driver line-up has not changed between two seasons; next year all teams will have the same drivers as last season. The head of Haas F1 believes that many changes will take place in 2025 and that the transition season will start early.
Günther Steiner: “The pilot market will open at the beginning of 2025. Some will end their careers and new drivers will come to Formula 1 instead. We are all constantly monitoring the market situation, but it is still too early to make any decisions.
I think next year the first announcements about transfers will be made at the beginning of the season – everyone is trying to guarantee themselves the best chances in 2025.
But if you invite a driver too early, he will cost more, and if you invite him too late, there may be no one left in the market. You always need balance.
Am I ready to hire a newbie? Now my position is not as categorical as before. Obviously a newcomer is not an ideal option for the team, it has its pros and cons, but at some point you may simply have no other choice.”
