Guenther Steiner - A Life In Motorsport


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with one of motorsport’s most charismatic and candid voices — Guenther Steiner. From a young boy with a fascination for cars to becoming a key figure in the high-stakes world of Formula 1, Guenther takes us through his remarkable journey.

We dive into his early passion for racing, the tough breaks and breakthroughs that shaped his career, and the realities of what it takes to succeed behind the scenes — from sponsorships and networking to the art of the pitch. Guenther also reflects on the massive global impact of Netflix’s Drive to Survive, and how it reshaped public perception of F1.

With his signature honesty and humor, he shares sharp insights on the contrasts between rally and Formula 1, and why storytelling is just as crucial in the boardroom as it is on the track.
