Summary

Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc may be the ones on the podium, but Guenther Steiner is THE breakout star of Drive to Survive, the hit Netflix series chronicling Formula 1 racing… and, no, he swears he hasn’t seen it. Now an ambassador for this year’s Miami Grand Prix, Guenther opens up about his nearly four decade career in motorsports and how he led teams by tapping into the cultures of All-American NASCAR and the world of Formula 1. Guenther bluntly shares how things ended for him with Team Haas, why he was more than ready to move on and happiest when taking on the next challenge. While the biggest party in the world will be happening at Miami Grand Prix May 3 - 5th, Guenther can’t help but giddily ask Dan Le Batard about the craziness of Miami in the 80s.
