Former F1 team boss Guenther Steiner goes viral with a clip featuring him dancing with his daughter
Former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner was seen dancing with his daughter Greta on social media. The duo can be seen dancing in the video to the Charlie XCX song "Apple". The American-Italian former Haas team principal has been active since leaving the American team at the end of the 2023 season and is often spotted in the F1 paddock as a pundit.
He has been seen working with numerous broadcasters such as RTL, Sky Germany, etc, and gives his take on several events in the F1 world. Steiner has been the darling of social media ever since he rose to fame on the Netflix series "Drive to Survive". He became a damn favorite for his unvarnished personality and for leading one of the underdog teams on the grid.
In a clip being shared on social media, the lighter side of Steiner's personality was on show as he danced to 'Apple' with his daughter Greta.

In an interview with MotorSport Magazine, the 59-year-old said that he was "happy" as he was free from the pressures of running an F1 team every year, while also expounding on his life as a pundit:
“No, I actually like it – I’m free! My life is always about learning new things. I was not aware of how much is going on in the background of TV until last week! I had to keep talking to fill the program. I was like ‘Wow! They had me [run out of] talking, that means something.'"
“I do so many different things. I can now find my way about what to do next – if I want to do anything. I’m not obsessed [that] I need to go back into running a team. I’ve been there, done it – been very happy with it, but I’m happy now as well.”
Guenther Steiner on changes he would make if running an F1 team
Former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner stated that if given another chance, he would buy another F1 team rather than set up a new one, given his struggles with his previous outfit.
He said:
“Would I do it differently? Yes, maybe. I will never set up a new team again, I would buy an existing team. This is a much better way to do it. From scratch these days, it gives you so many years of headaches that you don’t really want to do it.”
Haas F1 is having a resurgent season under the leadership of Steiner's successor Ayao Komatsu as they are currently P7 in the constructor's championship with 27 points and are just seven points adrift of RB in the battle for P6.
