Steiner expressed his view that Mercedes, led by team principal Toto Wolff, should consider ending its engine supply agreement with McLaren.\n\nSteiner framed the situation as a straightforward strategic decision. He argued that if a team is being beaten by a rival it supplies, the logical move is to cease that support. \"On Toto's place, I would have refused to supply the engines,\" Steiner stated during the Red Flags podcast. \"It's a simple decision if you are being beaten. He can stop it.\"\n\nThe former team boss also touched upon the regulatory framework governing engine supplies in Formula 1. He pointed out that the current regulations require manufacturers to supply engines to a limited number of customer teams. In the case of Mercedes, this currently includes Alpine and Williams, in addition to McLaren. Steiner's suggestion implies that Mercedes could fulfill its obligations without continuing its partnership with McLaren.\n\nSteiner characterized Toto Wolff as a sportsman who, in his view, made a strategic error by providing a key competitive advantage to a direct rival. \"He gave the best piece to the strongest competitor. I would not have done that,\" Steiner remarked. This comment highlights the tension that can exist between a manufacturer's commercial interests and its competitive ambitions.\n\nHowever, Steiner also acknowledged the complexity of reversing such a decision. He noted that while the initial deal seemed like a good idea, the resurgence of McLaren has changed the competitive landscape in a way few anticipated. \"It would be a shame to stop it now, when they have already done it,\" he added, suggesting that backing out now could be seen as unsporting or reactive.\n\nThe core of Steiner's argument rests on the unexpected performance uplift from McLaren. The team has made significant strides, challenging the established order and, notably, beating Mercedes on multiple occasions. This success has put Mercedes in the awkward position of potentially powering a team that regularly finishes ahead of it.\n\nThis situation underscores the delicate balance teams must maintain in the modern F1 ecosystem, where customer relationships and competitive rivalries are deeply intertwined. Steiner's comments provide a candid perspective from someone who has managed a smaller team and understands the strategic implications of such partnerships.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Former Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes Mercedes should stop supplying engines to McLaren, calling it a simple decision given McLaren's recent success against
