As Formula 1’s popularity has grown, they have only one person left to thank for it, Guenther Steiner who became the star of the Netflix show and has now a contract for his own comedy show in hand. Steiner first gained popularity for his colorful language and his lack of patience which gave fans gold moments throughout Drive to Survive.
The Haas team boss has had almost everything go wrong for him as Haas went from being midfield competitive to a non-competitive team completely this season. With the AlphaTauri team surpassing them in just one race, Steiner has had a rough patch however, it may be ending for him soon as only laughs and cheers entire his life.
CBS recently reported that it is in the early stages of a new show that will revolve around a boss managing a team in a sports workplace setting. The comedy will be a single-camera recording that will show a “Steiner-like” boss handling and managing a team. CBS has had one of their classic hits, The Big Bang Theory work out well for them and have now come up with yet another brilliant idea.
The Haas boss was asked about the new comedy show, to which he replied his views on having a show based just on him. he said,

“I’m not good at acting, I just do my job, and if they film it all that’s fine. It’s all very transparent. We sometimes make a meal of things but very rarely. It’s real. I think people like the honesty, too.”
While he has something to look forward to, the boss is also preparing for the final race of the season as all the teams arrive at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Guenther Steiner becomes the ‘main character’ of Drive to Survive

However, many fans talked about Guenther’s popularity coming from the show and in no time Steiner became the main character of the series. Although many fans who have now become close to the sport have stopped watching the show, they have agreed to continue watching it just to see the Haas boss absolutely lose it on cameras.
There have been many instances when he went viral like the time all the bosses met and Horner asked Toto Wolff to just “change his f*cking car”, the boss went viral for his “Let’s go porpoising” comment he made. This has made fans absolutely adore him and enjoy his humor and personality.
