Guenther Steiner: The Man Behind Drive To Survive

[@donaldmiller5524]

I support Haas because of this guy.

[@thecompanioncube4211]

Without a slither of doubt. In other teams drivers are the star, in Haas Gunther is the star.

[@project182r3]

Nobody supports Haas.

[@RidiraPLUR]

Most overrated principal

well this aged well

[@europeanroyalty4778]

Drive to survive would be nothing without this man. Never fails to make me laugh.

[@fannycueva.62]

I love Toto and Christian, but Gunther is the star of Drive to survive

[@jt.8144]

FOK yah

[@GreggCesaroni]

And now we see what 2024 is gonna be like

[@thestig007]

The more I learn about Guenther, the more I respect him.

[@imetzl9340]

Truly one of the best team principles we've ever had in F1. He could easily take over for any TP on the grid and continue or even further its success. Lets not forget this man was technical director for Red Bull during its baby years, his drivers obviously have great respect for him, and the whole of Haas F1 team have that family dynamic they have because of Guenther

[@benn87]

Sarcasm?

[@charlottelanvin7095]

which principle do you find the best?

[@daarom3472]

Horner

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

One of the nicest men. One of the most grounded. But you can't put him as one of the best team principles when we have men who have ran teams who won consistently for an era or two. Would i have a beer with Horner? No, I would rather punch him the face for being a horrible man. But his achievements are a different league. But a beer with Guenther would be enjoyable.

[@PiotrekSzostak]

That's a pretty ludicrous claim I would say. First of all - how does being a technical director translate to being a good TP? Binotto case says it doesn't. And I'm sorry but Haas brings some entertainment to the grid but in no shape or form do they bring any amounts of professionalism. Those russian shenanigans where the final straw for me to relegate Haas and Gunter to the comic relief section of F1 and they haven't proved me wrong since

[@BobbyFlay14]

This guy is such a legend. Very intelligent man. And a pure gentleman

[@Stuntman707]

I like Guenther and his decisive no nonsense attitude. The most difficult part is getting the right people and managing people. It’s important not to stay in a job you don’t like. I see a few negative people at work and honestly I wonder why they stay and don’t move on. Their attitude just works against the team and brings down others around them.

[@Supastallsta]

Steiner is very honest. I would work for such a person.

[@stuartcooper481]

What an interview, Gunther came across as a determined grafter that refuses to let the team down. Let the employees do what they do well and if not then move on. Top man 👍

[@IonBruma-l1w]

A strong, honest and direct man that you don't meet often. Danke schoen, Herr Steiner! Great job, gents, for inviting him.

[@petervantriet2304]

Such a great interview that goes way beyond F1. Thanks Jake and Damian for your great questions and having Guenther on the show.

[@Thomas.A.Ohlsson]

Günther Steiner is the best! Really genuine person who are honest and real about everything he talks about in this interview, one can learn a lot from this person.

[@jackmcmaster3195]

Clearly a very intelligent man with strong ambition, goals and a way to get there. Great podcast again

[@lukaskp84]

Feetback guys. I am about 15min and you started to talk about his book. It would be nice if you would have his book on your table. Instead of seeing laptop,, phone and cup of brew. or you could show his book on the corner of screen. At the end it is his time and I think you should present him better way. I am only watching you because of Steiner and would be reluctant to go back again to listen to you guys. You have great questing and you are working well together. I would add higher table or table beside each person and you don't have to bend to put your cup away. the way you are holding it looks like you are cold and. you are heating yourself. Even nive big plant between you and guess. I am not criticizing you just making suggestions and observations.

[@jackjavech1177]

I’m on my third show, these guys are the best interviewers I’ve ever heard! They manage to get F1 primos to speak openly. Rare, because they are used to answering inane questions all season. Brilliant.

[@bagobonecollective799]

amazing!!! Love him so much! He's the whole reason Drive to Survive was even successful! Very insightful to see him expressing his journey and processes! xxx

[@boatman222345]

Watching people who are good at their job do their job is one of the greatest pleasures in life. And Gunther is good at his job! It's easy to underestimate what it takes to put together and keep together a large team of people of different skills, and backgrounds such as are commonly found in Formula One but it's an incredibly complex and difficult job. Getting this look into the hearts and minds of those who pull it off is, to me, as interesting as watching the races themselves. Great interviews made up of intelligent and penetrating questions are as rare as the mechanics, drivers, and managers who form the backbone of Formula One and my hat is off to these highly skilled interviewers!

[@MrSimonMusic]

Guys!! This’ll was such a fantastic show!! The next best thing to the Imola race. So we’ll presented and produced. LOVED the Monaco montage packages and the banter between all four of you. Well done!! Keep this up!!! Thanks for the entertainment. Can’t wait for the next race - Monaco!!

[@jacquibarratt2396]

Love hearing from Guenther, a true team man focused on the greater good

[@tjayk9127]

I’d love to just sit around this guy and absorb experience for a few hours. So much experience in one person. This is the perfect Boss. To his point you learn more appreciation and work ethic from failure.

[@isaarif7]

Here's me sitting in the office at 5:45 on a Friday after watching this full episode. And still waiting to leave at 6pm. Great Episode!

[@promechheavyequipment5855]

Love this guy great team manager and leader, sugar coats nothing ! Respect!

[@jeremyc7786]

What a legend, the kind of straight talker you can't help but like and respect

[@littletweeter1327]

i will always cheer for haas solely because i want only the best for this man. he's an international treasure

[@showtime951]

The next thing I don't like, admire, and respect about Guenther Steiner will be the first. He is an amalgamation of all of the favorite, most influential people I've had in my life. Thank you, God. My best to you and good luck, Mr. Steiner. Be fast and be safe. Great show, guys!

[@jasondunn8313]

Love Gunther’s straight forward approach. Thanks for your video. Appreciate your approach to the interview and practical questions 👍

[@DEKEHOUSE]

I just found out about this podcast this morning, and I must say, the guests are incredible, but i also have to give credit to the hosts. You both ask such diligent, targeted, and insightful questions that get the most out of each guest. It really shows that you're listening and appreciative of the guest that you have on. Great stuff all around. Also Guenther is the man 🤘

[@donTomcyko]

The best interview I have seen in a LONG time and Guenther is a fucking Legend. Learned soo much of him watching this. Thank you

[@Toad_Moto]

I could listen to him talk all day.

[@tylerwallace7457]

Listened to his book on Audible, which he narrated himself, and this guy made me a Hass fan. He seems really upfront about everything

[@maximme]

GRIT the man has grit. Both Guenther and Gene. I would have pulled the plug LOOOOONG ago.

[@glenniz1]

For the longest time Guenther was in in my opinion, a rude, arrogant, self centered prick; But over the years, and especially after watching this interview, I have found a new respect as well as an admiration for his open, honest and straight forward attitude in business as well as in his personal life. This man is quite unique in this current modern day world, and the world could highly benefit, by more men adopting his straight forward way of presenting himself!!👍🏁

[@robincardillo4119]

Love this guy. I’d like to talk to him over dinner. I love his candour and blunt personality.

[@David-vz5hg]

We need more honest interviews like this

[@RuiNobrega]

This gentleman is a Legend. Great interview.

[@IulianMihaiu]

🙂 Guenther is like the real embodiment of John Wick - a man of focus, commitment, sheer will...

[@Gdad-20]

What a propper down to earth guy this man is. Fare Play brother, for being real. I would drive for you for free! ❤

[@marktunstall4577]

I have immense admiration for this Man. I can take many feathers from his cap

[@Laz_Arus]

Guenther is a great person and leader and his persona and characteristics would readily make him an honorary Aussie. He would fit in nicely down under here. 👍

[@terryb4972]

Respect! This man is no fool but perhaps some of those around him are!

[@samghost13]

Günther Rock's! Glad to have him in the F1 Circus

[@Drenwickification]

Great interview! I need to get his audiobook, it must be an amazing listen. I’ve mentioned before and you replied saying it was a good idea but would love to see you get Angela Cullen on! I’ve only ever seen her do one interview before though so maybe she’s hard to get hold of for one!

[@victoriafranco6859]

Fantastic episode!

[@2321brendan]

Guenther Fok Smashed this interview

[@J_8867]

Great interview - all the F1 eps have been great.. keep them coming!

[@patrickabas1112]

Brilliant, Gunther is a legend in his own way.

[@ishanchattopadhyaya8816]

This fellow is all talk, no action.

I like how he thinks.

Incredible interview. Steiner is a legend. I only wished he would have called Gene during the interview and screamed for more money.

[@8Paisley]

Just listening to his Audio book. Fascinating man.

Fantastic interview chaps. Love the Newcastle interviews. Keep up the good work. Who’s next? Chris Moyles !!!!!

[@gokhanj.yenigun7933]

Mick scored points because of his talent, and in spite of you, Guenther.

[@david_r_mclean]

I really just wanted to share that I think this podcast is excellent. Really interesting and well thought out questions are presented to your guests. I also think that Guenther is an experienced and formidable former TP, with some excellent inside knowledge and insights to share. However I do think there’s a limit. Can you continually fail at HAAS and still have validity in what it takes to be a winner? Yes, you can blame drivers and technical teams and lack of funds but doesn’t the buck ultimately stop with you?

[@iomis69]

I love this guy !

[@kyledammann4284]

He is fantastic. I love to hear your nice words becouse his accent is unique.😁🏁😁🏁👂🏎

[@dnevill]

What was the title of the book he recommended?

[@bananasgrowing]

“Surviving to Drive” - Guenther’s new book

[@dnevill]

Sorry. He mentioned a book that he had read. Not his book. Ill just re-watch it

[@manupanasa216]

[@ashooaway]

This episode is very perchaastive

[@zarniwoopb6078]

Guenther sounds like the sort of dude that after about 5 minutes working with him you’d run through a brick wall for the him.

I forget the names of the other team principals but never Guenther 😁 I hope Haas will get better soon.

[@FOHrpg]

I love these podcasts, but why always ask "what is high performance" generally they're always the same answer, its really not that deep.

[@rupertsamonte6298]

[@andrewfiorini8169]

I can’t wait till HAAS gets a podium one day.

[@benmanutd2]

Even though Haas is hardly a successful project till now. He has done incredibly just to survive. Haas could easily end up like Williams, even more likely so.

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

I want him and Matteo to do travel show and talk racing and test cars.

Günther is no James Vowels. But he seems like a well-meaning and positive principal. Off topic: put a cape on Günther and he would make a perfect Count Dracula. Sorry, couldn’t help myself. 🤣

[@chrisballUKtoNZ]

you should put subtitles on for non native english speakers, youtube subtitles arent up to scratch. i mean guenther is easy to understand but im english, for non native speakers (my colombian partner) hes not so easy to understand. just a thought to improve the channel guys
