SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- Haas team principal Guenther Steiner will not get involved in the internal bickering at his team's title sponsor Rich Energy, saying it does not impact on his team's reputation.
Ahead of the British Grand Prix, Rich Energy's Twitter feed issued a statement saying the energy drink company had terminated its sponsorship deal with the American team. It was followed up by a statement from a group of Rich Energy's shareholders distancing themselves from the tweet, which they labelled as the "rogue actions" of a lone individual.
The Twitter account is understood to be under the control of the company's CEO, William Storey, although the group of shareholder's say they are in the process of removing him from his role.
