Steiner to make Bahrain F1 paddock return in German TV role
Team Principal of Haas F1, Guenther Steiner, will be working as an expert commentator for RTL in seven races and Channel 10 for the Australian GP, with the possibility of more engagements that fit his schedule. His RTL duties are predominantly in the second half of the season, covering races in Bahrain, Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Azerbaijan, and Las Vegas. Steiner’s venture into TV punditry began at a NASCAR event last year and he sees it as an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to the broadcasts. The Australian appearance will be a new experience for him, similar to his NASCAR stint last year, which he found beneficial for his TV skills. Steiner is open to voicing critical opinions about drivers and teams professionally and without intention to offend, emphasizing the importance of factual and respectful analysis. Additionally, despite his appearances in “Drive to Survive,” Steiner maintains that he won’t resort to using colorful language in his TV commentary, and while considering other opportunities within F1, he aims to balance work commitments with travel concerns.
