Lawson: Ricciardo needs to 'step it up' | 02:23Melbourne is firing up for the Australian Grand Prix, with teams and drivers descending on Victoria ahead of Sunday’s race.
It’s upset some key figures in the touring car category as it prepares to share in the limelight of Australia’s biggest racing stage and enjoy its share of the year’s largest weekend sporting crowd.Walkinshaw Andretti United co-owner Ryan Walkinshaw has hit out at the Australian Grand Prix’s treatment of the Supercars, arguing that his sport deserves better.
Walkinshaw, who co-owns the team with McLaren CEO Zak Brown’s United Autosports, said Supercars was having its contribution undervalued. A further complication is that the Supercars paddock will no longer be accessible to general admission ticketholders, preventing fans from seeing the garages up close.
Steiner, the team’s founding boss, was told he wouldn’t have his contract renewed during the off-season and has been replaced by Ayao Komatsu. “Doing that in the long term is not what I want to do in life. I don’t want to be seventh again. I’ve done that. I want to be able to fight, to battle at the front.”
His standing is so great that the teenager has been touted as a potential replacement for Lewis Hamilton next season.
