Guenther Steiner, the former boss of Formula One team Haas, has expressed doubts about Kevin Magnussen's place in the team. This comes as the 31-year-old driver has significantly underperformed compared to his teammate, Nico Hulkenberg.

Magnussen, who scored only five points from 12 races, finds himself in a challenging position with British rookie Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon considered promising replacements. Steiner noted Hulkenberg's impressive sixth-place finishes, hinting at the possibility of a complete overhaul in the team lineup for next season.

Steiner's criticism extended to other seasoned drivers like Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, and Valtteri Bottas, whose recent performances have been subpar. He also remarked on the ambiguity surrounding Gene Haas's long-term plans for the team.
