Haas boss Guenther Steiner on Netflix’s Drive To Survive: “I’m not an actor” - “not ashamed” of Mick Schumacher criticism

The fifth series of the F1 show, fꦰilmed last season, showed multiple examples of the Haas team principal criticising his own driver and making 🎶plans to replace him, which eventually he did do.
Many of Steiner’s private comments about Schumacher ꦅ- such as “you cannot buy it or develop [talent]” - demonstrated the ruthlessness required to lead a successful F1 team.
“I didn’t watch it, but I made the comments so I remember some of the things I say,” Steiner explaine🐎d at the 2023 season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
“Obviously ‘Drive To Surv🌳ive’ shows the worst and the most tricky mom📖ents. So obviously that’s what the show needs to do.
“Whatever was said, was said. I cannot take that one back and it was decided not to take it out because it you have noth🐷ing to hide and it is what it is. I’m not ashamed of it.
“I can explain it with ‘the heat of the moment’. As a racer you say things I wouldn’t say now. But things like this happ𝓡en in racing.”

Steiner insists he has never watched the Netflix show himself despite being one of its main stars: “I’ve got one team member who watches thi♌s and I let somebody else decide.
“It’s always difficult for me to have an opinion about my🐻self, it’s very difficult. Put yourself in my shoes, you know what I mean? The best thing is they don’t show anything. But is that good? No.
“You don’t get involved directly with your ♕own performance because I’m not an actor, I don’t judge if I ‘acted’ good or not. I di🦄d my job and I think I judge my job from what we achieve at the race track. If Netflix looks good or bad, I don’t really care about that.”
