If it's free - hopefully a user/customer can't be screwed over in the many ways that can (and often do happen) with their traditional/main product.
I think what people like about Guenther is the authenticity and honesty. No BS.
Yes, so refreshing
This is exactly it.
That's what his draw was with DTS
Guenther is epic and his insight on the world is very interesting. Congrats Ben for getting him on and asking those questions that all of us would love to have answered.
I like how Guenther doesn't want to watch back or listen back to things so he doesn't change himself on any level, true authenticity on & off camera
yes, i agree but also no self reflection.
Congratulations Ben. This was your best interview yet. I really like how you are not superficial in your questioning. As an older listener, I find that you're really getting deep into the personalities that you're interviewing, and that's really interesting to hear. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate that!
@@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast it's very, very true. Brilliant!!
Gene Haas doesn't have any friends - he has customers, employees, and suppliers. I first met him in 1996 and did his PR for 20years. He doesn't do 'socialising'. He is a very introverted man whose focus are technical, engineering , and business challenges.
I wish you asked him about Komatsu taking over his principal role and recent HAAS results. I know its uncomfortable question but would love the insight. Good work Ben
Gunter is like a startup/turnaround operator. He’s an animal at getting something built and running, but seemed to get frustrated when his hunger for progress outweighed the owners/management.
Bro I need a lot of tissues for this amount of juice
Big love Misha 🫶
Misha! 🎉
@@philclarke7712🤓🤓☝️☝️
I really enjoyed this episode / interview. Congrats on this one and also the content and questions was so on point! Looking forward to whats coming next over SEMA and US Van.
Awesome! Thank you!
I've got to say Ben, this podcast is getting better and better. The guests you're having on lately is astonishing. Guenther is one hell of a guy. Looking forward to your US content, can't wait... 👍🏻
Dude, your guests just keep getting better and better!
This was fantastic. I absolutely love gunther bad his approach, especially when it comes to watxhing drive to survive. Hes so direct and honest. I think people can learn a lot from his mentality
Agree with Guenther 100%, HEALTH IS THE KEY!!!!
👊
@@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast Not a good comparison.
Elon is a freak of our time - self made billionaire.
Guenther was a manager of a F1 team, on wages - the stress is the same but different !!!
Bro this was so good. Thank you for the interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent interview as always, Ben. No idea why your channel isn't many times bigger. Keep at it!
Guenther is such a cool guy with real values, love it, best to him and best to you, very cool show you have
Thank you Gunther
Great interview and very well done
This video should go viral, so good.
Thanks 🙏
Great interview. Gunther is one bad boy….in a great way. Great questions too. I am now a subscriber 🎉
Thanks and welcome
Gene Haas and Guenther at about 39:40
Really enjoyed that mate - congratulations 👌👌
Great interview and just subbed Ben.
Looking forward to watching you're past, present and future guest's that grab my attention in any subject. 👍
I was a Production Supervisor at the Haas Automation plant for many years. Steiner should have been fired in Australia 2018 when the wheels fell off BOTH cars in the same race! We had people fired for loose bolts many many times. Now with new leadership the team is scoring points. Shows he was a silly wanker all along...😂
Rude.
🐂💩
@@BeatleLOVER Steiner doesn't hold back his insults.
@@OCinneide You don’t think I know that?
Great interview. Enjoyed this one hugely. Good questions put to a very interesting man. Thanks for this. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing who you interview in Miami!
Well done Ben some great questions there. How long did you have to prep for this interview , it’s excellent. I know Gunther isn’t the easiest person to interview but you really got him talking, and not much swearing 😂
Hahaha i had a good week to prep! But only an hour with him! Hopefully as we grow i can get more time / freedom in the chats
Great episode Ben shame you couldn’t get Guenther for longer
Ikr
and that's an interview!!!! Congrats man! :)
Thanks man 👌
him and max a match made in **fucking** heaven
Just saw him live in Guildford last week, brilliant guy and loved this interview with him. Great work!!
This is a great interview and great guest 🔥🙌
Thanks so much 🙏
“Me and Gene were never friends”. That’s right, Gunter. You had an employer/employee relationship, which is different than a friendship. What other fundamental management errors did you make? And I actually like Gunter Steiner.
Checks schedule from F1 paddock to a VW Van
Love this!!!!!
Great listen ! Well done Ben..
Definite PLUS for having Guenther on the show. Definite MINUS for this being nothing more than an add for ...........
Mr Haas is still there and the team is better than ever. Mr Steiner is doing podcasts and commentating and is better than ever. Clearly one was stopping the other from succeeding.
The team is not better than ever. In 2018 they were 5th in the constructors with a real shot of 4th for most of the year.
Add to that, he didn't have a lot of say in the team, such as signings of drivers and a few other things
@@nathanielperry9654 the team is certainly better than ever and the results will come. 2018 was a good year for results but they were also running the previous year’s Ferrari, essentially. I like Steiner’s bluntness and personality, but to be “no BS” you at least need to be correct in your assumptions.
@@rms-vp6hf my brother in Christ…..in 2018 they scored 93 points and got close to the podium. Had Australia 2018 not happened, they would’ve eclipsed 100 points and been much closer to, or maybe would’ve even finished best of the rest in the constructors. Regardless of what car they were running, how you can say the 2024 team looks better than they did in 2018 with 31 points with 6 races to go baffles me
@@nathanielperry9654 it shouldn’t be. But it’s all good. Formula 1 is a great sport to know and multifaceted. 2018 was a good year for Haas just looking at the points, but they had a bunch of DF/DQ in almost a quarter of their races and relied on Ferrari a bunch. Like I said they are doing better than ever and the results will follow.
I don't like Gunther much, but he is a very straight forward person and that is very respectable, he did well not answering the question about targeting Mazepin directly, since Mick was more crashie than Mazepin has ever been
Given the latest legal issues and debts to mazepin, I think he did very well not to answer questions about it. Why risk getting yourself into trouble when its all in the past? Mick was a lot better driver, a lot lot better
Tuning in again from New Zealand 🇳🇿 next level guest.
Welcome back Mike 🙏
No filter, that's why we love this guy!! 😆
Gene Haas doesn't get that when someone says Haas F1 Team people think "Guenther Steiner" and not "Gene Haas". Guenther wouldn't like this but he has become a legend in and outside F1.
Fantastic episode Ben :D
Thanks George!
I really like his logic around not watching Drive to Survive.. I think if and when he's completely done with F1 he will watch it and will enjoy it just like we all did. He's not wrong though. If he watches himself drop 47 F bombs in an episode (which I love) he may lose his sh*t in the future go to drop an F bomb and notice a camera and say FUDGE! I actually respect the hell out of his answer.
BS - he has watched it. !!! as he thinks its about him, But it is a story of F1
I love guentier and have no idea what else changed, but haas has been immensely better this year.
Nice interview 👌
Great episode, someone who I would like to hear about is harry metcalfe, from Harry’s garage and evo mag etc.
I have been trying to get @harrysgarage for ages!
His book Surviving to Drive is fantastic
Ben getting Guenther on the podcast is surreal
Lovely to see Gunther
Fantastic. Best guest ever
That red helmet is sweet!
Factual awareness!! Guenhter.
Interesting how much better Haas has performed since he left.
He should back to F1 as steward roles🔥🔥
Fantastic podcast 👌
Thanks for listening
That was your best ever podcast
Did not see this coming, mental😱
Plenty more coming!
@@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast so glad too hear this.
good interview
Thanks! Consider Subscribing! :)
The best character in Formula 1
He’s the best!!!
Haas made very, very stupid mistakes during Steiner's management. And they happened frequently. They didn't tighten the bolts more than once. If they could do better in logistics, Haas's performance might be much better. At least they could get back to the middle instead of the bottom. The team missed almost every opportunity to score more points because of various mistakes. Steiner is definitely responsible in this regard. He was blaming the drivers for those years. And he didn't manage the team well, both strategically and logistically. After Komatsu took over, the team never made stupid mistakes again. This proves that the team leader can really lead the team on the right track. And Steiner spent too much time shirking responsibility. I thought it was Grosjean's fault at first, but since Komatsu took over Haas, I realized that Steiner was the core of the whole incident. Grosjean was originally an unstable driver, and Steiner made it worse.
Couldn't have said it better myself. He has loads of characteristic of a bad leader
Loved it.
Brilliant! Well done Ben, Thank you Guenther!
Thanks Dude!
Fair do’s Ben !!!! You do get some decent people
More to come!
46min video. 18 adverts. Jeezo
Great episode though. Probably my favourite. 👏
We are ad free if you have UA-cam premium, Spotify Premium or Apple Music 🙏
EXCELLENT!
Guenther is really getting around the podcasts lately.
anyone know the timestamps about the conversation about gene?
subbed
Love Guenther 😂
Look at the size of Gunthers hands !!!!!😮
Guenther was honestly given a terrible card with haas now I’m not saying he’s F1 Jesus but the guy to straight to the point and I can’t fault him I really do hope we see him around the paddock again later down the line.
I wonder how to it feels to see Haas living its new renaissance, P6 in standings, Toyota money coming in.
There’s no friends on the track.
And definitely in the pit lane.
Thank god.
Personally I get the frustration when you have limited support.
Albon is to Colapinto what Steiner is to Komatsu.
Why should they be friends...?
Gunther was employed by HAAS..
Haas got better after he left. Mediocre manager, Komatsu doing a great job
you shoud make the guests write on the van walls after the shows
like the other famous vans on the internet
We have a charity Calander they all sign ✍️
What is up with the dub when you said “Nikki”?
The guy was given a chance by Gene & alot of dollars, to build up a F1 team.
he did his best and made a lot of mistakes and became a icon in the sport through his Drive to Survive appearance, & very self opinionated. - but it was time to go to the next management level & he was not the person to do it - Haas F1 is doing better now - Toyota baby !!!
Before if you did a good job you'd be seen and progress as he said but now it's those that talk the talk, thick neck regardless of their track record or ability seem to go further. People working well without all the talk no longer get to where they should
As a New Yorker I absolutely love Guenther’s mentality. Watching this from my Wall Street office
Why do they have to have adds iys only started and the adds start

Amazing how well Haas has done without him.
A podcast in a van, down by the river
Not subscribing till we get Broadbent on
Guenther is way better than Haas in my opinion.
Hows Ben pulled this one off then?
How'd you get Guenther on?! How much was this bribe?!
£1.50 and a snickers
@@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast knew he was a snickers man. Absolute legend.
I don't understand how this man can be praised. He failed at Haas, he's not a very good leader. Sure by absolute standards he's a remarkable guy but in my eyes he leaves F1 defeated.
Just like basically 7 out of 10 teams
Funny how when HAAS fired this foul-mouthed Guenther....... the team immediately turned around and becomes fast, collecting points regularly.
He wasn't able to run the team, though!
Jesus say drive to survive again. Maybe ask the man about his life.
Nice that Guenther isn't dropping F- and trash words here. I find them very off-putting.
They are just words, if you let words bother you then you may have other issues, saying fuck is no more offensive then crap lol
This dude embarassing. The team is having a great year now he has left and he'd do his reputation so much better to just be a commentator. Total clownshow now.
Or Sauber and Williams and alpine from time to time were just more pathetic.
There is a huge difference between a retentive memory and innate logical common sense!
Gunther wasnt goidnat redbull either, straught talker, yes, honest? Perhaps, good leader? No
Along with Monisha Kaltenberg and Claire Williams - one of the worst Team Principals in F1 history.
