Formula 1 fans have delivered their verdict on Haas' decision to part ways with Guenther Steiner ahead of the 2024 Formula 1 season.

Having held the Team Principal role since Haas made its debut at the start of the 2016 campaign, Steiner has been replaced by Ayao Komatsu - also a long-time figure within the Haas set-up.

The American squad ended last season at the bottom of the Constructors' Championship, the second time in three years it had done so.

RacingNews365 asked fans to vote on the decision and it certainly seems to have divided opinion.

Although more fans voted in favour of change, it wasn't by a strong majority. See the full results of the poll below.

No - He should have stayed in his position	601	41.51%
