Haas boss Guenther Steiner shares big F1 2025 driver market prediction before silly season kicks off
After a stable driver market that saw no changes over the winter break, 2024 could be a very different story, with 14 driv𓆏ers out of contract at the end of the upcoming campaign.✃
And Haas team principal Steiner, whose drivers168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Kevin Magnussen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Nico Hulkenberg are among those on deals coming towards a conclusion, is expecting a particularly drಞamatic silly season.
“I think there’s a lot of potential at tꦺhe end of 2024, focusing on ’25, I think there’s a big opportunity for young drivers to come in,” Steiner said in an interview with Sky F1’s Craig Sܫlater.
“Because some of them, t🌱he drivers who are there now or will be at t🧸he end of ’24, maybe stop doing it.
“Some of them will have not perfﷺormed, nobody will pick them up. Some, I see a better o🌳pportunity in taking a risk with a young driver than keeping somebody who didn’t perform.”
Steiner reckons the instant success of McLaren’s impressive rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri cﷺould prompt other teams to gamble on young drivers for 2025 and beyond.
“Everybody was scared ab🐲out rookies. [Piastri] came in and was good straight away,” Steiner continued.
“We now see these things and say ‘OK, it worked with Piastri – why would it not work with somebody else? You have s🅷ome history there now.’
“So it could be that, in ’25 ﷺwith no changes for ’24, all of a sudden we have got three, four, or five new guys… I ꦏthink that could happen.”
