Günther Steiner is a motorsport executive best known as the former team principal of Haas F1 Team, one of the newer constructors on the Formula 1 grid. Born in Italy in 1965 and holding both Italian and American citizenship, Steiner built a career as an engineer and team manager working his way through top-tier motorsport before taking the helm at Haas, where he became one of the most recognizable and outspoken figures in the paddock.
Known for his blunt, often colorful commentary and no-nonsense demeanor, Steiner gained widespread mainstream attention through his appearances in the hit Netflix docuseries "Drive to Survive," which turned him into a fan favorite and a surprisingly charismatic ambassador for the sport well beyond the traditional racing audience. His candid personality and sharp wit have made him a sought-after voice for interviews, panels, and public appearances discussing the business and drama of Formula 1.
