It is going to be an interesting talk to clear the air. There are no problems. You saw something happen in Brazil but it was just the wrong moment, it wasnt that something else was going on behind it.It was then put to him that the fact they want to talk -- something he said has not been the case after departing previous teams -- shows the mutual respect held, and Gutierrez agreed.In the same way it is my intention to end things in the proper way, that is also their intention which speaks a lot for them.After his retirement in Brazil, Gutierrez was seen being restrained byy Steiner as he reacted angrily in the Haas garage.dddddddddddd Though it looked like an altercation between the pair Gutierrez insists his relationship with Steiner is and will continue to be good.There is no story behind that.

It means we are a team and we will learn from that.It will be a very open and honest talk to finish a good relationship. They gave me the opportunity to work with them this season and I have been very grateful with Gene and Guenther. We all made a great effort even though it was a difficult season.Despite the uncertainty regarding his future Gutierrez remained in a jovial mood and revealed Steiner and team owner Gene Haas are invited to his wedding ceremony in January.I had invited them after the decision and they will be there in January. The religious wedding is in January, that is the important one. The invite is from myself, I give the best from myself and they are invited.
