A landmark court case against former Haas Formula 1 team boss Guenther Steiner has been thrown out, ending a saga over the Italian’s breakout book.
Steiner was subject to a lawsuit from Haas F1 parent company Haas Automation Limited over trademark infringements in his popular “Surviving to Drive” book.
Haas Automation Limited alleged that Steiner used the team’s branding and imagery, including logos, without expressed legal permission.
Steiner argued that all content used fell under fair use, did not breach copyright laws and was protected by the Fifth Amendment.
