Günther Steiner, star by chance of Formula 1

You can work for a lifetime in the world of motorsport, get in and out of the Formula 1 paddock without a fan asking you for an autograph or a selfie. Then it happens that Drive to survivethe Netflix series about the World Cup is now in its fifth season, you air an episode about yourself and the peace ends. Günther Steiner who in the meantime has also become a star of Race Anatomy, the Sky broadcast that analyzes the Grand Prix, is experiencing all of this. His American neighbors who greeted him just because he was a neighbor now pester him with questions about his stable. When he enters or leaves a paddock the fans treat him like a driver. He is experiencing a star dimension that he never would have thought he would have to cross when as a boy he hung posters of cars and pilots instead of those of footballers on the walls of his bedroom in Merano. Günther Steiner is the very Italian team principal of the very American Haas which has much more Italian thanks to the work of Dallara on the chassis and the engines supplied by Ferrari. He is a character who has won the sympathy of the fans and still wonders why.
