Horner doubts Steiner ever reached an F1 podium but praises Drive to Survive

Christian Horner said he did not think Guenther Steiner had ever reached an F1 podium. He also said the former Haas team boss had made a career from Netflix's Drive to Survive.

In an interview with Autosport, the former Red Bull boss discussed how the series is edited. Horner said hours of footage can be cut to present people as heroes or villains. He credited Drive to Survive with bringing F1 rivalries and personalities to light, said it had brought a new fan base into the sport, and called Steiner a character.

Steiner led Haas from 2014 to 2023. The team's best championship finish during that period was fifth in 2018, and it finished last twice. Kevin Magnussen's pole in wet qualifying at the 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix was one of Haas's standout moments. Steiner is now CEO of MotoGP outfit Tech3.
