Formula 1 News: Steiner has a new job as F1 TV analyst

Posted by AR1 staff

Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner will return to the Formula 1 paddock as an analyst for the German TV as well as Australian TV.

Steiner’s new position at RTL isn’t his only television gig in 2024, as he will be present at the Australian GP as a pundit for Aussie television.

Steiner’s first race in his new role will be the season-opening Bahrain GP, where he will analyze the action with Florian Konig, who will present RTL’s coverage.

​​“Formula 1 is competition at the highest level, on the racetrack and in the paddock,” said Steiner in an RTL statement. “How should the drivers’ performance be evaluated, and what does that mean for the organizations behind them?

“I look forward to examining these processes with this strong on-air team and sharing my analysis of the racing events.”

Steiner will join the Australian Network 10 broadcasting team for the Australian Grand Prix next month.

“With Guenther Steiner, we have managed to get a long-time manager and Formula 1 insider directly from the paddock in front of the RTL microphones, who will enrich our live broadcasts with current insights and plain text,” said RTL’s Inga Leschek.

“In addition, Steiner is a real character who is extremely popular among many Formula 1 fans.”
