Guen✅ther Steiner thinks Formula 1 must introduce a new rule preventing two 🃏teams with the same owner.

However, he accepts♚ a rule must be pha🌳sed in slowly.

Red Bull - who Steiner worked for before becoming Haas team principal - would be most affected by his proposed new 𓄧regulationꦰ.

Red Bull have sister team RB who are also on the F1 grid,💃 a situation which has riled some of their rivals.

“In a sport like Formula 1, no owner should have twoꦫ teams,” Steiner told the Redꦛ Flags podcast.

“You never get away from the suspicion that there are team orders betw♈een teams.

“I guess we have to respect what Red Bull did at the time.🧸 I was involved in it, when they bought Minardi.

“F1 was struggling. Minardi was struggling, they wo🍒uld have gone away without a saviour.

“F1 has developed a lot since those days.

“In the future, maybe 🌊there can be a fix that you’re ♛not allowed to own two teams.

“You are not allowed to do it in foot🔥෴ball, nowhere.”

But Steiner warns that the situation cannot be c🅠hanged overnight.

“It shouldn’t b❀e as radical as in the Concorde Agreement. No,” he sai🐠d.

“What Red Bull put into F1 to make it w♏hat it is now, it’s quite amazing.

“So, in the end, you cannot tell🌃 them what to do with their teams.

“But in the future there n🦋eeds to be thought about it. How can weꦫ avoid it?”

Controversy arose in Singapore when 🌼RB’s Daniel Ricciardo claimeꦛd the fastest lap bonus point in the closing stages.

He robbed McLaren’s Lando Norris of the bonus point which might later become crucial in the dr🌳ivers’ championship battle.

RB essentially aided their sister team Red Bull’s star🔥 man Max Ve𒊎rstappen in his quest for the F1 title by depriving Norris of points.

“If Visa Cash App wasn’t owned by the saꦕme owner, nobody would have had this suspicion,” Steiner said.

“Everyone would have saidꦐ it’s the last hurr🐟ah for Daniel Ricciardo.

“If, for example, Sauber made the last lap. Would any𓄧body have been worried? No.

“The problem is because they are owned by the same owners𓃲.”

Haas, under Steiner’s lea♑dership, were a customer team of Ferrari.

B𓃲ut they had different owners, which Steiner insists is a crucial detail.

“Times have changed. In the 📖past if you were a customer team, you had to do what your supplier wantꦕed,” he said.

“Nobody could tell contractually because all the contracts are with the FIA. Nobody could say ‘you need to hold up ඣthis car’.

“But if you’re owned by🍬 the same company it’s a different story. It’s a different level of collaboration.🤡”
