Formula 1 News: Haas Boss Steiner in talks with CBS

If Michael Andretti is able to buy the Haas F1 team, would Steiner still be the Team boss? Previously denied it is for sale, inside sources tell me otherwise.

This rumored CBS comedy could be a new gig for Steiner should Gene Haas sell out to Andretti.

It has recently been reported by Deadline that Haas team boss Guenther Steiner will be part of a single-camera workplace comedy on American commercial broadcast television company, CBS.

The show will, of course, be fictional and will be set in the world of F1. The central character of the series will have a Steiner-like personality and will be the boss of a team. As of now, the show reportedly does not have any writers or studios on board.

Ever since the Netflix series Drive to Survive showcased how teams operate behind the scenes, the Haas boss has been quite famous among fans. His vibrant use of language and hot-headed nature have somewhat made him a popular figure in a humorous way.

In an interview with The Independent earlier this year, Steiner said of his TV fame: “I’m not good at acting, I just do my job and if they film it all that’s fine. It’s all very transparent.

“We sometimes make a meal of things but very rarely. It’s real. I think people like the honesty, too.”
