克里斯蒂安·霍纳调侃京特·施泰纳,称后者因Netflix热门纪录片《极速求生》走红,但在F1中缺乏成功。
斯坦纳在2014年至2023年间担任小车队哈斯的车队老板,期间见证了车队两次在锦标赛中垫底,最好成绩是2018年的第五名,之后他被解职。
最明显的亮点是凯文·马格努森在2022年雨中的巴西大奖赛上令人震惊地夺得杆位,除此之外的成功寥寥无几。
但这并没有阻止斯坦纳通过《求生之路》变得极受欢迎,他直率的性格和频繁的粗口立刻吸引了车迷。
这甚至促使这位意大利人出版了一本名为《求生之路》的书,突显了他如何成为该系列纪录片的大受益者,并且可以说因此比他的实际工作更有名。
前红牛车队老板霍纳,曾赢得共计14个F1冠军头衔,他对《汽车运动》表示:“这些人在制作一档电视节目,所以他们会拍摄海量素材,关键在于你如何剪辑。”
“你可以让某人看起来像反派或英雄,反之亦然。这档节目极其成功,因为它突然揭开了某些竞争、个性、车手的个性以及一些人物身上的盖子。”
“京特·施泰纳靠这档节目成就了一番事业……我的意思是,我不认为他在一级方程式里登上过领奖台!”
“但对他来说是好事。他是个有个性的人,为我们工作时是个相当吓人的角色,但没错,它为这项运动带来了全新的粉丝群体,这非常棒。”
斯泰纳的职业生涯始于世界拉力锦标赛的机械师,之后他在2001年转投F1,担任捷豹的总经理,并于2002年底离开。
现年61岁的他于2005年加入红牛——红牛从捷豹手中接管了车队——在红牛的首个赛季担任技术运营总监,但只任职了一个赛季。
这是因为传奇设计师阿德里安·纽维加入了车队,于是斯泰纳转投红牛纳斯卡部门,担任技术总监,一直待到2008年。
“我从未听说过他,当我在网上查找他时,他看起来相当吓人,这是我的第一印象,然后京特就出现了。
“随后他负责了小红牛2,那辆搭载法拉利引擎的赛车,在银石赛道进行试车时,大约三度的气温下就过热了。
“阿德里安·纽维不久后出现,说‘好吧,我们会忘掉那辆车’。
“然后京特离开了红牛体系,去参与刚刚启动的纳斯卡项目,那算是他进入美国赛车世界的过渡。”
施泰纳现在是MotoGP车队Tech3的首席执行官,该车队是发车区上唯一一支KTM卫星车队,目前在2026赛季积分榜上以139分排名第八。

Christian Horner takes cheeky swipe at Guenther Steiner: 'He never achieved an F1 podium'
Horner and Steiner were once colleagues, and while the former shot to F1 glory with Red Bull, the latter had a tougher task as team boss of Haas
Guenther Steiner, Team Principal, Haas F1
Christian Horner has taken a cheeky swipe at Guenther Steiner for shooting to fame thanks to Netflix hit Drive to Survive, despite his lack of success in Formula 1.
Steiner was team boss of minnow squad Haas from 2014 to 2023, overseeing two last-place finishes in the championship with a best result of fifth in 2018 before his removal.
The obvious highlight was Kevin Magnussen’s shock pole at the wet Brazilian Grand Prix in 2022, with success outside of that being few and far between.
But that didn’t stop Steiner from becoming hugely popular via Drive to Survive, where he immediately grabbed fans with his forthright personality and frequent bad language.
It even led to the Italian releasing a book named ‘Surviving to Drive’, highlighting how he was a big beneficiary of the series and arguably more famous for that than his actual job.
Former Red Bull boss Horner, who won a combined 14 F1 titles, told Autosport: “These guys are making a TV show, so they take hours and hours and hours of footage and it's all about how you edit something.
“You can either make somebody look like the villain or the hero or vice versa. That show has been incredibly successful because it suddenly lifted the lid on some of the rivalries, the personalities, the driver's personalities, some of the characters.
“Guenther Steiner has made a career off the back of it…I mean, I don't think he ever achieved a podium in Formula 1!
“But good for him. He is a character, quite a scary character when he worked for us, but yeah, it's brought a whole new fan base into the sport, which has been fantastic.”
Steiner’s career started as a World Rally Championship mechanic before he eventually switched to F1 in 2001 as managing director of Jaguar, leaving at the end of 2002.
The now 61-year-old moved to Red Bull - who took over from Jaguar - for its debut campaign in 2005 as technical operations director, which he served for just one season.
That’s because legendary designer Adrian Newey joined the squad, so Steiner moved to Red Bull’s NASCAR division, where he remained until 2008, as technical director.
“I'd never heard of him and when I looked him up on the internet he looked fairly scary, that was my first impression, and then Guenther turned up.
“He was then responsible for the RB2, the Ferrari-powered car that overheated in about three degrees at Silverstone on a shakedown.
“Adrian Newey turned up shortly afterwards and said ‘well, we'll forget about that car’.
"Then Guenther went off within the Red Bull world to work on the NASCAR project that was just getting going and that was his sort of transition into the American world.”
Steiner is now the CEO of MotoGP outfit Tech3, which is the only KTM satellite team on the grid and is currently eighth in the 2026 standings with 139 points.
