The Haa🦹s F1 team have been criticised for a lack of perceived ambi🌠tion by Eddie Jordan.

The US-based team are in their ninth season in Formula 1 aiming to rebound from finishing bottom of the 2023 constr൲uctors’ championship.

Guenther Steiner surprisingly left his job as team principal over the winter, citi🅠ng t⛦he owner Gene Haas’ unwillingness to invest.

Ex-F1 team owner Jordan said on the  podcast: “If it was me, and I was there, I’d cast my attention to the engineerﷺing, the speed of the car, the ability to do the job.

“Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen in particular - I worked with him just after thﷺe Jordan era - are talented drivers who can ওdo the job. No issue there.

“The issue is the commitment to the job in hand.

“They’ve bee♛n there for a long time, in Formula 1, and I haven’t seen the team move forward.

“Aspirations of winning𓄧 a gra🤪nd prix? I don’t see it.

“Whether iไt’s person⛎nel or the second-hand Ferrari engine…

“But you’d rather have the Ferrari engine than the Renault engine in th🅺e Alpine, that’s for sure.

“A lot c♑omes down to aero, an𝓰d to Gene Haas putting the right guys in place. He hasn’t done that yet.

“The car in race trim seems okay. But in qualifying? They 🌺are given no chance.

“The car is just mꩵarginally better ꧃than the Alpine.”

David Coulthard 💮added: “There is definitely room fo൲r improvement.”

Ayao Komat✃su is the new Haas team principal this year, repla♓cing Steiner.

His appointment is a pivot to an engineering-based boss, rather than the business savvy 💫of Steiner.

A ray of light at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last weekend saw Hulke﷽nberg finish in P10 after an impressive qualifying performance.

Steiner detailed the financial disag𝔉r🍌eement with owner Gene Haas that led to his departure.

He said: “You could see all the other teams, when the budget cap came into place, ever🌳ybody else invested their money into the infrastructure of the company jus🍌t to move forwards.

“We didn’t do that.

“At some stage, you need to say what you think about thi▨ngs.

“Obviously I don’t own theꦓ team. I can’t make these decisions. I haven’t got the money.

“Gene wants to do it his way.

“Obviously he didn’t like what I had to say.

“Therefore my contract wasn’t exten🌄ded. I was okay with it.”
