Hi there, I'm J. Cumpfrey. This is High Performance, the award-winning podcast that reminds you that it's within.

As always, thank you so much to our listeners right across the world who tune into us every single week so that we can be your armour, we can be your partner, we can be your guide in a world that so often feels negative, divisive and confused.

Listen, we really want these conversations to remind you of your power, to remind you of your potential and what you're capable of.

So right now, allow myself and Professor Damian Hughes to unlock another fascinating mind so that they can be your teacher.

You might think you know this person from what you've seen on TV, but you're about to meet the real person.

This is what's in store on today's High Performance podcast.

If they've got an opinion, it's fine, but does it anything to me? No, because it isn't a parody.

And obviously, it is maybe hyped up a little bit by writing a book, by Netflix, that they get you in these situations because it has become a little bit, I would almost say a trademark, but I'm not in control of it, so I'm not telling them to use it.

Drive us in a team, if you've got two drivers, there doesn't need to be the big friendship, they don't need to be big mates.

I think that is actually on the rest of counterproductive, but there needs to be respect, you know, for the job the other one is doing.

I know, if he's not out in the next 20 to 30 seconds, he's not coming out. There's no chance that he comes out.

You know that, when I saw him coming out, he can never broken, like a broken hand. I mean, he's okay, you know.

The only thing he needs is a wife here, because in my position, you know, if this car is on fire and the guy doesn't jump out of it, he will be done.

So here we go, then, Gunther Steiner, the team principal at the Has Formula One team, joining us on the Hyperformance podcast,

and so many of you will know Gunther from Drive to Survive, which has just taken the world by Storm, and he's been absolutely the star of that show.

But do you really know him, or do you know the things that you've been allowed to see?

Do you know the caricature? Do you know the swearing? Do you really know Gunther Steiner, because you're about to?

We talk about the challenges of being a leader in Formula One. We talk about the loneliness of traveling the world.

We talk about the challenge of managing drivers. We talk about how you can deliver difficult news.

We talk about how you can get people to say yes. We discuss Gunther's superpowers. We discuss his failures.

We discuss his successes, but I promise you, this is the truth about him. This is the truth about life in Formula One.

This is the truth about being Gunther Steiner, traveling the world, and in recent years becoming very famous for it, how he dealt with that.
