Gunther against everyone
After reaching a global popularity thanks to his ‘performances’ in the TV series Drive to Survivethe former team principal of the Haas team Gunther Steiner he is continuing to be talked about a lot even now that he no longer has an active role within the Circus. In fact, the Bolzano manager never misses an opportunity – as a TV commentator on the track or as a simple enthusiast on the sofa at home – to analyze the F1 season and offer his scathing judgments.
The favorite ‘victims’ of the Italian manager I am above all the his former team – made fun of on social media on a couple of occasions for the double disqualification in qualifying for the Monaco GP and for a botched pit stop in Canada – and the German driver Mick Schumacher, with whom Steiner’s relationships have always been anything but idyllic. It was precisely his digs at the son of the artist that had led Steiner to clash heavily with Mick’s uncle, former F1 driver Ralf Schumacheralso a commentator for German TV.
Glock’s response
Another former driver who often appears in television shows commenting on Formula 1 in Germany has also arrived to support Ralf: Timo Glock. The former Toyota representative explained that he doesn’t understand some of Steiner’s attacks and instead invited him to think about what his mistakes could have been, given that Haas is doing very well this season even without him at the wheel of the team.
“What can be said about Gunther Steiner? – said Glock speaking on Sky Deutschland – it’s always a little difficult to understand the way he chooses to communicate. She should stop attacking him all the time – added the former Jordan and Toyota driver regarding Steiner’s criticism of Mick Schumacher – what does it mean? Maybe he should think about his mistakes – he concluded – if you look at Gunther Steiner’s CV as a team leader, you have doubts. Why at the moment the Haas team is doing a great job without him“.
