Guenther Steiner is a motorsport team manager and former mechanic
hailing from Merano in northern Italy. From 2014 to the end of 2023
he was the team principal of the Haas Formula One Team, having
previously been managing director of Jaguar Racing and technical
operations director of its subsequent incarnation, Red Bull Racing.
In 2014, Guenther persuaded Gene Haas, owner of Haas Automation and
NASCAR championship winning team Stewart-Haas Racing, to enter
Formula 1.
With their entry in the 2016 season, Haas became the first American
constructor to compete in F1 in 30 years. The team took eight
points at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix with a 6th-place finish,
becoming the first American entry, and the first constructor
overall since Toyota Racing in 2002, to score in their debut race.
Steiner is also a prominent figure in the cast of the successful
Netflix series Drive to Survive.
Fearless and candid, Surviving to Drive reads like the night-time
confessions of a football manager who is fighting to stay in the
Premier League. A gleeful guide to a bonkers sport from a loveable
rogue insider.
