Haas provide major update on Steiner F1 lawsuit in c/formula1@lemmy.world
[–] Coldmoon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

A lawsuit against the Haas F1 Team has been dropped by its former team principal Guenther Steiner, with an agreement having been reached during mediation proceedings.

Last April, Steiner sued Haas Formula, LLC after claiming that the American team owed him money after his contract was not extended by the outfit's founder, Gene Haas.

The Italian deemed that the team had continued to build and increase its popularity by using his fame, which was triggered by Netflix's F1 docu-series Drive to Survive.

Specifically, he case claimed that "the popularity of Formula 1 in America is rapidly growing, and Haas F1 has grown with it. But neither Haas F1 nor Formula 1 would exist in the modern United States if not for Guenther Steiner."

How is screen clarity? Which model did you get? Did you use a kindle prior for comparison?
