Guenther Steiner is one of Formula One’s (F1’s) most popular team principals. He led America’s only F1 racing team, the Haas F1 team, from its launch in 2014 until the end of 2023. Prior to his American F1 experience, Steiner led racing teams in Italy and the United Kingdom, including as technical manager, team manager, director of engineering and managing director. Red Bull then tapped him to establish its NASCAR racing program in the United States, which ultimately led to entrepreneur Gene Haas recruiting Steiner to create the Haas F1 team. When Steiner moved to the United States, he also established Fibreworks Composites, a high-tech, carbon-composites design and manufacturing company, which he still owns.

Steiner recently rose to fame as one of the stars of the award-winning Netflix series “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” and now is well known for his straight-talking style and keen sense of humor. His 2023 book, “Surviving to Drive” became an instant hit and topped The Sunday Times Bestsellers List in the United Kingdom. He now is an expert F 1 analyst for German broadcaster RTL, French channel Canal+ and Australia’s Network 10.
